ITV Palaeontologist heads to Yorkshire attraction for Jurassic adventures

Dean Lomax, ITVs expert paleontologist

TV’s expert palaeontologist on Dinosaur Britain and scientist at the University of Manchester Dean Lomax is heading to a Yorkshire attraction this weekend to bring Jurassic Park to life.

Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley is hosting Jurassic FarmFest, an immersive event which includes a cinema screening of 90s cult classic Jurassic Park.

Jurassic creatures will come to life in a pre-historic adventure for all ages this summer, as a programme featuring animatronics, live music, interactive performances, and the chance to excavate fossils alongside outdoor cinema screenings of classic dinosaur movies is unveiled.

Transforming the farm into a dinosaur activity trail with a dinosaur safari, raptor races and Jurassic obstacle challenge, ticket holders will step into a land before time and be taken on an adventure amongst roaming T-Rex.

Lomax said: “It’s great to see that Cannon Hall is bringing palaeontology to life. The dinosaur events will make snippets of the prehistoric world accessible to all, and spark interest and questions, with fun for all the family.”

Dinofarm: Friday-Sunday, 10.30am – 4pm
Jurassic FarmFest: Saturday, 6pm – 11pm
