Geofest!

Dorset Geologist’s Association Group (DGAG) is hosting a GEOFEST on the Saturday 18 October 2025.

Theme: A festival celebrating Geoscience: Fossils, Rocks and Earth Science. A DGAG annual event that is a small part of October’s two global events:
– International Geodiversity Day with this year’s theme One Earth, Many Stories
-Each October, the Geological Society coordinates Earth Science Week in the UK, in cooperation with the American Geosciences Institute and the wider international geoscience community. This year’s Earth Science Week celebrates ‘Energy Resources for Our Future’.
In our GEOFEST, selected DGAG members and some invited guests will exhibit their collections and share their Geoscience/Earth Science knowledge. (See the list of contributors below)
Anyone is welcome to come and see what is on show. If there are any Geoscience questions or puzzling rocks/fossils that people want advice on, these would be welcome also. Our inaugural event last year was a success, so should be even better this year.
Time: The GEOFEST will start at 10.00 am; finish 3.00 pm
Entry Cost: Free.
Booking: There is no need to book.
