Walk with dinosaurs and enjoy prize fun

FAMILIES are being invited to take part in a Jurassic adventure and unearth some fascinating dinosaur facts this summer when a Dino Trail takes over a town centre.

Taking part in the Loughborough event is free – and anyone taking on the prehistoric walk with dinosaurs will be in with a chance of winning some prizes.

The interactive trail is being created by Love Loughborough in partnership with the LoyalFree app.

It is set to launch on Saturday, July 9, and will run over the summer until Thursday, September 1.

The Dino Trail will feature 15 locations and each one will have a poster with an educational dinosaur question.

Participants can stomp along the trail and discover the answers by scanning the QR code on each poster.

Explorers who complete the trail, visiting all locations and scanning the QR codes, will be entered into a prize draw to win one of four £50 Love Loughborough shopping vouchers.

Participants should keep their eyes peeled for anagram letters along the way for an extra chance to win.

LoyalFree’s partnership manager, Sophie Carrick, said: “We are delighted to be able to deliver this trail. We hope that both locals and visitors to Loughborough can enjoy this educational trail, learn some new fascinating facts and enjoy what Loughborough has to offer.”

Lisa Brown, Love Loughborough BID manager, said: “This trail provides a fantastic opportunity to get families out and about this summer spending quality time together while getting children excited about education.

“We look forward to continuing to support our local area with these exciting initiatives.”
