I am trying to replace a 2 Gang 1 Way switch with a dimmer switch. Both sets of wires have an earth cable however the metal varilight dimmer only has one earth terminal. Can i connect both earths from the seperate lights to the same terminal?

Yes both earth wires to the one earth terminal.
If the back box is metal then use a length wire to connect the earth screw of the back box to the earth terminal of the dimmer so three wires to that terminal
use green yellow sleeving on the earth wires
