A rip-roaring, prehistoric science pop gig for curious humans of all ages.

Picture a dinosaur roaming through an ancient forest... millions of years later, a scientist called Jakob discovers its amazing fossilised remains and tells its incredible, colourful story, revealing secrets we could never have imagined.

Join five musicians and palaeontologist Dr Jakob Vinther as they enter the multi-coloured world of the dinosaurs with soaring music, catchy songs and mind-blowing science.

P.S. Bring your own dinosaur!

Inspired by this show, we have curated a special activity for younger family members: Crafty Kids: Dinky Dinosuars. Budding young artists can explore their dynamic dinosaur creativity by making a little home for mini dinosaurs. Book for Crafty Kids: Dinky Dinosaurs.
