'DINO live' makes a welcome return to Thornton Hall Country Park, Thornton-in-Craven this half term holiday.

Straight from the Jurassic mountains, the award-winning Lancashire attraction will welcome families from this weekend for a prehistoric adventure to remember.

As well as all the usual hands-on animal encounters - with the return of egg-collecting -, visitors can enjoy a dino-tastic walking trail getting up close with giant dinosaurs on a fact-finding trek.

Park rangers will also be on hand with a live action stage show.

Event manager Tom Birkett said “Our priority is to deliver unique, first-class events – we’re really excited to transform the park for May half term to mesmerise and entertain our visitors from the minute they arrive.

"Our huge ‘real’ live-action dinos are bringing a brand-new adventure show and we can’t wait to see the children’s faces.”

Dino Live will run every day from Saturday, May 27 to Sunday, June 4; and again from Saturday, August 19 to Saturday, August 26.
