Stone Age SOS

Discover the stinky, epic, dangerous world of our prehistoric ancestors

Calling all young adventurers and prehistoric explorers!

Saturday 18th July – Monday 31st August 2026

Stone Age SOS is included with a Day Ticket!

Before doctors, medicine, or soap, survival meant knowing the land. Our ancestors used herbs, fire, and hygiene to fight illness, heal wounds, and keep the clan alive. ‘Stone Age SOS’ brings these forgotten skills back to life - with demonstrations and stories that show how health and survival were always intertwined.

Be transported through time and embark on an interactive and thrilling journey into the prehistoric world of our ancient ancestors this summer. Experience the excitement of the Stone Age in an action-packed day filled with live demonstrations, interactive fun, and unforgettable discoveries. This fun and educational adventure shines the spotlight on the hidden side of survival: prehistoric medicine, hygiene, and healing.
