Journey into the lost land of the dinosaurs at Mere Sands Wood.
Calling all mini palaeontologists. Join the education team this Easter for a prehistoric adventure, exploring the amazing lives of dinosaurs. Discover herbivores, carnivores, who lived where and who ate who. Help with the dino fossil dig, and search for the Velociraptors lost eggs. Plus, much more.
So, grab your explorer's hat and don't go into the long grass.
This is an outdoor activity, so please come dressed for the weather including waterproofs and sturdy footwear. Fancy dress is welcome.
