Tickets on sale for dinosaur exhibition at Moyse’s Hall Museum, in Bury St Edmunds

Prehistoric giants are set to take over a Bury St Edmunds museum as part of a six-month exhibition.

Tickets are on sale for the ‘Prehistoric Beasts: Land, Sea, Sky’ display at Moyse’s Hall Musuem, which will run from May 3 until October 5.

There will be a chance to see a host of real and cast dinosaur bones, including the skulls of an adult T-Rex, Velociraptor and Compsognathus.

Most of the items have been loaned by Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, from the University of Cambridge.

Paleoartist, Alex Pritchard, who is a replica fossil specialist, is helping with the displays.

West Suffolk Council’s Heritage Service will also be displaying its own Plesiosaur and Ichthyosaur.

The entrance fee for an adult is £5, children and students are £3 with senior citizens £4.50. Click here for tickets.

Cllr Ian Shipp, cabinet member for leisure at West Suffolk Council, said: “The summer of the dinosaur is here at Moyse’s Hall and we are delighted to be able to bring this prehistoric exhibition to our residents from across West Suffolk as well as visitors.

“We are anticipating this will be very popular with fans and families alike and although entry can be paid on the door, we’d advise booking in advance especially for weekends and during the school holidays.”

The tickets will also give access to other displays at the museum, including the history of the abbey and an art display.
