Dino Fest returns to Lancaster city centre on 8/9 July and will see the city come alive with more dinosaurs than ever before including Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalists, Dinomania, appearing in Lancaster for the first time. The event will also include Dino Workshops, a mobile museum, fossil handling, a talk by world renowned palaeontologist Dr Dean Lomax, a city centre dinosaur trail, face painting and more. Whilst some attractions have a small cost, there are plenty of free activities throughout the weekend for all to see.
New for 2023, we have partnered with The Dukes to offer live ticketed shows on Saturday 8th July.
Dinomania Children’s Workshops – tickets £6 Full / £5 for groups of 4 or more
As part of Lancaster BID’s Dino Fest, The Dukes will be hosting children’s workshops with Dinomania – familiar to many as semi-finalists in Britain’s Got Talent 2022. The award winning Youtube Rangers from Dinomania will teach you all about these amazing creatures. Ranger Chris will captivate the audience with a live dinosaur egg hatch and will introduce you to some of his dinosaur family. Children will be able to show off their knowledge with a dinosaur quiz and put Chris to the test with any questions they have.
