A fun, interactive stage show all about dinosaurs is coming to Merseyside.

Jurassic Live is heading to the St Helens Theatre Royal later this month, taking families on an adventure with dinosaur rangers. Families will be able to immerse themselves in the Jurassic zoo, on the hunt for a missing dinosaur.

Along the way, visitors will meet and learn about dinosaurs from the Cretaceous and Jurassic eras including the Stegosaurus, Apatosaurus, Velociraptor, Triceratops and the mighty T-Rex In the family show.

Jurassic Live has the widest variety of dinosaur puppets, dinosaur species and costumes available in the UK, containing ground-breaking new technology. This means the dinosaurs you see on stage are realistic, with blinking eyes, moving mouths and fully functioning, moving bodies.

The total show running time is approximately 90 minutes and gives children (and adults) the chance to get up close and personal with the creatures. A lucky few may also be called onto the stage to feed the dinosaurs.

Jurassic Live will be at the St Helens Theatre Royal on August 30 and 31, with three shows each day, at 12pm, 3pm and 6pm. Tickets start from £13.50 and are available here.
