Carboniferous Monsters: 100 million years before the Dinosaurs – Bishop Auckland Town Hall

Ever wondered what life was like before the dinosaurs? In this astounding exhibition, you’ll be transported back to the Carboniferous period – 100 million years before dinos walked the earth.

Visit tropical forests and swamps, encountering strange and vicious creatures along the way. We’re talking millipedes the length of crocodiles and scorpions the size of dogs!

The mini exhibition features 350 million year-old original fossils, reconstructed prehistoric beasts and fascinating insight into what Durham and the Dales was like 300 million years ago.
