Check out this awesome video that Tom Fishenden captured for us of DinoCon 2025!

It was an absolute blast and we will see you all again in 2026! (updates still to come!)

To find more of Tom’s work, see the links in the comments.

What we have learnt from #LymeRegis #FossilFestival: need more small/todler sized t-shirts

What we have learnt from #DinoConUK: need more medium/large sized t-shirts

Will we ever get the t-shirt stock just right? Probably not!

So how was @dinoconuk.bsky.social this weekend? So many smiles, so many enthusiastic people engaging with Palaeontology and SciComm! It was a whirlwind of enthusiasm, passion, and chaotic activity!

Constant joy, so much enthusiasm and inspiration, and it was such a pleasure being involved!! 🏴‍☠️🖤🦖

glad to have met so many weird medieval guys fans at #DinoConUK of all places, now we need to think of more unhinged stuff like "medieval trilobite"

And thanks for the dinosaur stickers @sovanjedi.bsky.social, great to see you again after all these years.
