They walked the Earth millions of years ago – but they’re back and stomping in to the county next week with the must-see summer show, Dino Live

Are you ready to go on a journey back in time to meet creatures who walked the Earth millions of years ago? Have a roarsome time at this summer’s must-see experience, Dino Live. Angela Cole takes a look

It could measure up to 13 metres long, weigh six tons and sport sharp teeth that were 13 inches long. The fearsome and formidable predator tyrannosaurus rex may have stalked the Earth millions of years ago, but if you head to Tunbridge Wells this summer, you could come face-to-face with one. The T-rex will be joined by his lesserknown prehistoric prowler, the kentrosaurus, who was a mere five metres long.

Together, they and some other big beasts including the ceratosaurus and iguanodon, will be lurking in the foliage at the Royal Victoria Place this summer to scare and delight visitors in equal measure throughout the holidays. Dino Live brings the life-sized animatronic beasts to the centre for a four-week spectacular. In a first for the county, the free exhibition will give visitors the chance to get up close and see the creatures move, roar... and even breathe. The exhibition will take visitors through a unique journey spanning more than 250 million years, through a series of scenes around the centre where the dinosaurs will be in environments similar to their natural habitat. There will be the chance for youngsters to have their photo taken with a baby T-rex.

Marc Burchett from the centre said: “I am extremely excited that we will be bringing this unique and exciting event to Tunbridge Wells this summer. This will allow us to build upon the success of our award-winning Titanic In Photographs exhibition last summer. Everyone is fascinated by dinosaurs and I am sure Dino Live will prove a roaring

success with kids of all ages.”
