The Natural History Museum's famous dinosaur, Dippy the Diplodocus, is leaving the museum for the first time to go a on a tour of the UK, and Rochdale has been selected as one of just 8 venues that will host him during the tour.
The iconic exhibit will start his tour in 2018 and will take pride of place in the award-winning Number One Riverside, Smith Street, Rochdale from February 2020 to June 2020.
The main aim of the tour is to inspire the next generation of scientists by giving them access to fantastic, nationally-important exhibits like Dippy.
A selection of activities for both young and old will be organised to coincide with Dippy’s visit to Rochdale, his only stop in the North West of England.
With the help of our partner, Link4Life, we aim to engage thousands of children and adults from across the whole region and we'll keep this site updated on our activity programme as it develops.
