Meet baby dinos along with T-Rex, Triceratops and Brontosaurus at family event in Derby

Zeus, Tank the Triceratops and Emily Bronty, the Brontosaurus, will be returning to the Market Place on Saturday, July 22, where they will be the star attraction at A Jurassic Day Out in Cathedral Quarter.

As well as Zeus, Tank and Bronty in the main arena, there will be several smaller dinosaurs roaming the streets of Cathedral Quarter throughout the day. Youngsters will also be encouraged to visit the hatchery to meet baby dinos in their first stages of life and learn about the evolution of the legendary creatures.

There will be opportunities for young people to train as dino rangers and learn how to look after the dinosaurs as well as ‘meet and greets’ and selfies with the different species.

Last year, more than 4,000 people met Zeus and his pals as they entertained visitors – and this year’s free event is set to attract huge numbers too.

Eve Taylor, BID project executive for Cathedral Quarter, said: “We love creating events that put a smile on people’s faces when they visit the Cathedral Quarter. The event was so well attended last year, and we are really looking forward to bringing the dinosaurs back again to Derby in July. We can’t wait to let our Jurassic friends loose in the Market Place again.”

Save the date for ‘A Jurassic Day Out in Cathedral Quarter’ from 11am, on Saturday, July 22, in the city’s Market Place.
