Dinosaur's take over

Dinosaur Discovery Day Roaring Success

NORTH NOTTS BID turned the clock back by more than one hundred million years and transformed Worksop market square into a Jurassic discovery playground, drawing in crowds of families from across the region to the themed festivities.

The packed programme of dinosaur-related activities featured opportunities to meet and learn about the historic creatures, including a fossil dig - which was organised in partnership with Odin events.

 

To add to the spectacle, fire breathers, stilt walkers, as well as singing and dancing performances, kept families entertained throughout the event.

Sally Gillborn, chief executive at North Notts BID, said: “We were delighted to put on this free dinosaur themed event for families in North Notts. The turnout was fantastic, and it was great to see everyone show their love for dinosaurs and the enjoyment that the activities put on everyone’s faces.”

Stalls and visitor attractions there on the day included Worksop Town FC and Harworth play centre Kidz Hub who brought along their electric go karts. Street entertainers, face painting, fairground attractions, food and drink stalls completed the dinosaur discovery day line-up.

Sally added: “Thank you to all the people who were involved in the organisation of the dinosaur discovery day and those who turned out on the day to help make it a roaring success.

“This is just one of the many projects and events that North Notts BID has delivered in North Notts during our first five-year term. If successful at ballot in June, we will continue with these hugely successful events as well as bringing in even more exciting events, projects and activities during a second BID term.”
