Dinosaurs set to stomp through city centre

A number of dinosaurs will walk through Derby city centre later for a major event.

Derby's Cathedral Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) will convert the city's Market Place into a free-to-attend "prehistoric playground" from 11:00-16:00 BST.

Wandering around the Cathedral Quarter will be Zeus the T.rex, one of Europe's largest dinosaurs, and a range of other prehistoric giants including a stegosaurus, parasaurolophus, and a brontosaurus.

Last year, more than 4,000 people met Zeus and his friends, said the Cathedral Quarter BID.

There will also be several smaller dinosaurs roaming the streets, which families will be able to get up close to.

Children will also be able to visit the hatchery, where they can meet baby dinos in their first stages of life and learn about the evolution of the creatures.
