Roarsome exhibition bringing lots of Easter fun to The Centre

-

Model dinosaurs are set to take over The Centre in Livingston for Easter.

The Jurassic statues, which were built using around 500,000 toy bricks, will be on show from April 1 to April 18.

Visitors will see dinosaurs like a seven foot Parasaurol­ophus made from over 100,000 bricks, or a 12 foot Velocirapt­or, made with over 45,000 bricks.

The display is put on by BRICKLIVE – a company that specialise­s in building exhibition­s made from toy bricks – and is called‘Brickosaur­sTrail’.

Guests will be able to learn facts about the dinos on display, as well as having a free‘Brickosaur­s Trail Hunt’which gets children to try and track down all the creatures around the shopping centre.

Shoppers can pick up a map for the hunt from the customer service desk next to New Look in The Centre. Completed trails can be returned to the desk and entered into a competitio­n to be in with a chance of winning a £50 Gift Card every day during the event.

There is also i two 6ft x 4ft interactiv­e selfie zones, with one featuring a huge Megalosaur head to capture fun photos.

It took a team of 20 designers and ‘master builders’over 3000 hours to build the dinosaurs, making use of a specialise­d 3D modelling software and then building the statues around stainless steel frames, glued together one brick at a time.

Ashley Bisland, Deputy Centre Director at The Centre, Livingston, said:“We are delighted to bring the spectacula­r BRICKLIVE‘Brickosaur­sTrail’toThe Centre, Livingston this Easter.

“The impressive exhibits will be located throughout the mall for families to seek out and learn facts, which will make for a great day out for kids of all ages this Easter and brick and dinosaur enthusiast­s too.”
