Where The Magic Happens

Founded in 1837, the Yorkshire Geological Society was the first geological society in the North of England. We are a registered UK charity (Charity No. 220014); our objective is to promote & record the results of research in geosciences in Yorkshire.

We achieve this mainly by hosting and promoting a series of indoor meetings & field trips throughout the course of the year, and publications by the Society, including the world-renowned Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society which is published twice per year.
