Make memories that will last a lifetime with an unforgettable overnight adventure beneath one of the world's most famous dinosaurs. Doze Under Dippy offers groups the unique opportunity to spend a night sleeping beneath the spectacular 26-metre-long Diplodocus in the stunning surroundings of the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum.
As the museum closes to the public, the adventure begins! Our experienced Learning and Engagement team will lead an exciting evening packed with hands-on activities designed to entertain, inspire and spark curiosity. Take part in atmospheric torchlight tours of the galleries, discover the prehistoric world through interactive fossil workshops, get creative with dinosaur-themed crafts, settle down for a family-friendly movie, and enjoy even more exclusive after-hours experiences.
After a night beneath Dippy, wake up to a delicious buffet breakfast, included as part of your stay, before enjoying the museum as it comes to life for the day.
Prices start from just £40 per person, with group leaders attending free, making Doze Under Dippy an affordable and unforgettable experience for schools, youth groups, Scouts, Guides, clubs and community organisations.
Looking to make your visit extra special? Goody bags can be added to your booking, and we'll also provide dedicated time to visit the museum shop—perfect for anyone arriving with a little pocket money to remember their adventure.
Don't miss this once-in-a-generation opportunity. Dippy will be returning to the Natural History Museum in February 2027, so now is the perfect time to experience this exclusive overnight event before this iconic dinosaur leaves Coventry.
