Step into the frozen world of Mammoth Rider in this immersive event with author S.J. Poyton. Come and hear all about Ash Grimes and her enormous, extraordinary companions – the newly returned mammoths – and discover how this thrilling adventure blends bold science, brave characters and big ideas about climate, conservation and courage.

Packed with interactive storytelling, mammoth facts, cloning and de-extinction insights, and behind-the-book secrets – this event invites you to think about how STEM and imagination can shape a better future. You’ll get to see a real-life baby mammoth tooth, ask questions about writing and research, and uncover what it really takes to protect a baby mammoth in S.J. Poyton’s tundra suitcase. Not forgetting S.J.’s 6ft Mammoth friend who will be joining us as well!

The show will take place in the Museum’s Lecture theatre which can be found on the first floor. Booking is essential. Please ensure that you book a space for each person in your group, including all adults and children attending.

You will be able to purchase the book after the event with a book signing with the author.
