VISITORS to a Shropshire border estate are set for a dinosaur adventure millions of years in the making this summer.
A T-Rex, velociraptors, triceratops and more are set to take over Bolesworth between Whitchurch and Chester from July 25-30 as Jurassic Live Adventure roars open.
The event will see dino rangers take intrepid explorers of all ages on a unique and immersive hour-long prehistoric expedition through Bolesworth Castle’s amazing ‘Jurassic Forest’, where dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes roam freely to this day.
As well as the chance to get up close to a host of dinosaur species, food and drink plus a small funfair will be available to enjoy before and after your ‘dino-mite’ tour.
The event is being organised by Bolesworth in partnership with Jurassic Live, a Wrexham-based company that runs dinosaur stage shows across the UK.
Nina Barbour, managing director of Bolesworth said: “While we have plenty of experience of looking after horses at Bolesworth, it’s safe to say dinosaurs are a different beast.

“When we discovered the forest near Bolesworth Castle was home to a dinosaur colony, we called on the team from Jurassic Live for their expertise.
“Their experienced dino rangers will lead dinosaur lovers of all ages on immersive expeditions this summer through our newly named Jurassic Forest, where they can get up close and see these amazing creatures in their natural habitats.
“This summer we can’t wait welcome everyone… to Jurassic Live Adventure at Bolesworth.”
Sam Foulkes, managing director of Jurassic Live said: “We’re obviously very used to working with dinosaurs so when we heard about the discovery of prehistoric animals at Bolesworth we were delighted to help.
