Pictures from dinosaur day at Friars Square Shopping Centre in Aylesbury with giant replica t-rex

Friars Square Shopping Centre has shared some of the photos taken during its free half term event held this week.

A dinosaur day was organised at the popular shopping site with families given an opportunity to enjoy a series of free dinosaur-themed shows.

There was also a free craft workshop, where youngsters could create their own prehistoric creatures.

For the event a giant replica tyrannosaurus rex was booked, he is affectionately named Rex, and stands at 17 ft tall, and towered over families throughout the shopping venue.

A spokesperson for the central Aylesbury venue said: “Rex brought his prehistoric charm to Friars Square as he roamed through the

shopping centre, popping his head into various shops surprising staff. The cheeky theropod performed four exciting shows throughout the day alongside his ranger, captivating audiences with his lifelike movements and antics.”

Guests were also encouraged to take part in a interactive treasure trail, hunting for hidden dinosaur posters scattered throughout the centre’s stores.

Friars Square also welcomed the Pre Hee Men – a pair of zany cavemen driving a prehistoric car.

“We were thrilled to see so many families attending our dinosaur event today,” said Andy Margieson, centre manager at Friars Square. “Rex was a massive hit once again with both children and our retail staff.”
