From August 24 to September 2, visitors will be able to see up close the lifelike displays of prehistoric creatures at Trinity Walk.

The centre said: “After our discovery of a clutch of dinosaur eggs underneath Trinity Walk while completing some new pipework, we’ve decided to share the love and invite youngsters and families to meet the newly hatched dinos this summer in Wakey.

"We expect the baby dinosaurs to be born soon and ready to meet the public during the summer holidays – there might even be a bigger relative stomping by once they catch the scent of the newbies’ arrival!”
