The Natural History Museum’s iconic dinosaur, lovingly known as Dippy, is leaving London to go galavanting across the UK as part of a new tour. Dippy the diplodocus has stood in the entrance hall of the legendary London museum since 1979, and will be sorely missed by Londoners and tourists alike. We now only have until January 2017 to say goodbye!
In the 110 or so years since he was revealed to the public, Dippy has wowed visitors, seen the ruling of six different prime ministers, and become a huge movie star, appearing in films such as Night at the Museum and Paddington! (Someone really ought to make him an IMDb profile).
Why not have a look at some adults-only after hours events at the museum as a way of saying goodbye to Dippy? A grown-up sleepover or a silent disco perhaps? We know you’re tempted…
