If you thought dinosaurs were extinct, get ready to think again.

A fearsome gang made up of a tyrannosaurus rex, ceratosaurus, iguanodon and the lesser-known kentrosaurus will be taking over a Kent shopping centre this summer – and youngsters can get along and see them for free.

Dino Live will see the life-size creatures taking over the Royal Victoria Place in Tunbridge Wells for four weeks, taking visitors through a unique journey spanning more than 250m years.

You’ll be able to see them move, roar... and, if you look closely, even breathe!

Young visitors can have their picture taken with a baby T-Rex and there will be workshops where they can get creative and learn more about dinosaurs.

Royal Victoria Place’s Marc Burchett said: “I’m extremely excited that we will be bringing this unique event to Tunbridge Wells. Everyone is fascinated by dinosaurs and I’m sure Dino Live will prove a roaring success.”

Dino Live runs from Tuesday, August 1, to Bank Holiday Monday, August 28, between 9am and 6pm, Sundays, 10.30am to 4.30pm and is free.

Dino Draw workshops will be on Saturdays between 10am and 5pm and Sundays between 11am and 4pm. Children need to be accompanied by an adult.
