THE Rock shopping centre has announced that it will be hosting a variety of free activities this month.

The shopping and leisure destination has teamed up with Tower FM to host its packed summer calendar of events, which will kick off tomorrow.

At this weekend's event, there will be a chance to meet, touch and have photos with baby dinosaurs and their keepers, dig for fossils and enjoy dinosaur fact sheets and colouring station.

The following Saturday, visitors will be able to enjoy T Rex shows throughout the day and even have their photo taken in a dinosaur egg, while on Saturday, August 18, they can gather round and watch a Velociraptor’s energetic and mischievous performance.

Then, on Saturday, August 25, youngsters can end the summer holidays in style by watching a performance from Titan the Robot.

A number of prizes will be on offer at each event.

The beach will also be returning to St John’s Square at The Rock, along with water ball walkers, bungee trampolines, a children’s ride and grill house.

Arnold Wilcox-Wood, centre director at The Rock, said: “We’ve pulled out all the stops this summer to make sure we’ve got wonderful attractions to keep our visitors entertained. We know finding fun and free activities for the children during the summer holidays can be difficult and that’s why we’re running this summer of fun.”
