In that period\, the continents as we know them today had not formed yet\, and Abingdon was submerged in a shallow sea. This is why most of the fossils found in Abingdon are of marine creatures. There were some coastal areas nearby\, though\, as proven by the finds of dinosaur footprints at Ardley near Bicester.\nWe also put Abingdon into the context of other rock strata from the Jurassic period which are present in the wider Abingdon area\,\nand how they can be observed in the landscape. \nThis exhibition will go up in the Sessions Gallery of the Museum. In May it will be joined by a second display in the Attic\, showcasing recent fossil finds here in Abingdon. \nFree Admission URL:https://www.abingdon.gov.uk/event/exhibition-a-geologists-guide-to-abingdon LOCATION:Abingdon County Hall Museum CATEGORIES:Abingdon County Hall Museum,Arts & Culture,County Hall Museum,Heritage,Market Place,Sports & Leisure ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.abingdon.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Geo-exhibit-soc-med-advert.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250517T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250907T160000 DTSTAMP:20260525T173456 CREATED:20250516T135835Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250516T135835Z UID:10015601-1747476000-1757260800@www.abingdon.gov.uk SUMMARY:Exhibition: The Etienne Collection DESCRIPTION:Eminent fossil collector Dr James Etienne is showcasing for the first time his extraordinary collection of locally found fossils in the Attic Gallery of Abingdon Museum from 17th May to 7th September 2025. \nFree Admission URL:https://www.abingdon.gov.uk/event/exhibition-the-etienne-collection LOCATION:Abingdon County Hall Museum CATEGORIES:Abingdon County Hall Museum,Arts & Culture,County Hall Museum,Heritage,Market Place,Sports & Leisure ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.abingdon.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/etienne-collection-2025-advert.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250523T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250526T190000 DTSTAMP:20260525T173456 CREATED:20250331T072252Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250331T072252Z UID:10015572-1748019600-1748286000@www.abingdon.gov.uk SUMMARY:2025 English Music Festival DESCRIPTION:The English Music Festival celebrates the brilliance\, innovation\, beauty and rich musical heritage of Britain with a strong focus on unearthing overlooked or forgotten masterpieces of the late-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century.
