What’s On

UPDATE: Dinomania on Saturday 12th July has been postponed due to extreme heat

Due to the very high temperatures forecast this Saturday, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the Dinomania event scheduled for 12th July.

The safety of our visitors, staff, and performers is our top priority, and we are currently working to confirm a new date as soon as possible.

Ticket holders have the following options:

• Transfer your tickets to the Dinomania event on Saturday 15th November.

• Wait for the new replacement date to be announced, and transfer to that.

• Request a refund to the original payment card, as the event on 12th July is now cancelled.

If you have purchased tickets, we will be in touch with you directly by email. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to roaring with you soon!
