The British Geological Survey have sent volunteer experts to provide interactive education activities for kids and adults. Including a giant map of the Yorkshire Wolds to use as a visual aid to learn about significant historic and Earth Science related features in the local area (2 images above). Rose Want (BGS Public Engagement Officer) is one of our Trustees and pictured below delivering an interactive workshop to kids at Yorkshire Fossil Festival.

Oxford Natural History Museum (Pitt Rivers Museum) – annual exhibit provider in 2024, they provided an exhibit on the Kirkdale Cave (North York Moors), which was a crucial location in the history of Geology that helped found the concept of dating the Earth.
