Your chance to take a selfie with a T-Rex

Fancy taking a selfie with a T-Rex?

The Roarsome Roadshow has announced it’s heading to Sunderland, giving people the chance to get up close and personal with life-size dinosaur models, from baby dinosaurs to a huge T-Rex.

Rangers will introduce each dinosaur for the audience at the afternoon event which is aimed at younger children, and people are encouraged to get pictures.

It will take place at The Point in Holmeside on Sunday, September 5, and organisers say tickets are already selling fast.

Prior to the pandemic, The Point underwent an £100,000 investment to improve its lighting and sound and to also increase its seating and standing capacity.

With venues able to host live performances once more, in line with the Government’s roadmap to lead the country out of lockdown, The Point has announced a number of dates for 2021.

They include Smoove & Turrell on June 11, 25 years of Rayne on June 26, Uni-T: The Untouchables on July 3, Ultra MMA on July 17, Ultra Boxing on July 24, Psychology of a Serial Killer with Dr Jennifer Reece on July 31, Social Room on September 4, Live Forever Live feat Oasis UK, Tom Hingley & The Kar-pets, The National Anthems and Phil Smith on September 10, a sports talk with Tyson Fury’s dad John Fury on September 24 and Martin Kemp DJ set on December 11.

*Roarsome Roadshow, at The Point from 1pm-2.30pm on September 5. Tickets from £14, plus booking fee from Skiddle.
