AN evening of fossil hunting will take place in Midsomer Town Park.

The event will be hosted by Steve England, who will teach guests about how the rocks around the area were formed, look at fossils within the rocks, and the prehistoric features that make up the local area.

Taking place on Friday, July 25, guests are told to meet at the entrance to Midsomer Norton Town Park at 4pm. The event will last for two hours, ending at 6pm.

Those who are interested in joining the session must book in advance.

Guests should bring a hammer, chisel and goggles if available, though there will be some to share. They are also asked people to bring a notepad, pen and camera to record their findings, and also to wear sturdy footwear.
