Join the Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust for a short guided walk around Birmingham city centre to delve into the geological past and discover ancient coral reefs in the walls of buildings!
This 'geowalk' will be led by geologist Laura Hamilton who will be on hand to help identify your discoveries and answer your questions about ancient geology and how it affects modern life. This event is being held as part of Earth Science Week, a national festival celebrating geology and earth sciences, to encourage and share interests in what lies beneath our feet.
The circular route will take in five stops around central Birmingham, starting at the Town Hall, and will take you on a journey back in time to 330 million years ago when Britain was a lush tropical seaside!

Cost: Free, donations welcome
Meet at the Iron Man statue in Victoria Square, Birmingham. Families welcome, no geology knowledge needed!
