Fairytale Farm is set to transport visitors back in time this February half-term with the return of its hugely popular Once Upon a Dinosaur event, running from Saturday 15th to Sunday 23rd February 2025.

This Jurassic-sized adventure promises a week packed with prehistoric fun, featuring life-size dinosaurs, baby hatchlings, dino-themed activities, and interactive experiences for the whole family. 

What's in store?

  • Meet life-size dinosaurs in Dino Valley
  • New for 2025: Say hello to Pally the Baby Parasurolophus
  • Dance with Darcey the T-Rex at the Dino Disco
  • Dig for fossils and become a junior paleontologist
  • Join the Dino Trainer Ranger and his mischievous Raptor hatchling
  • Get creative with dino-themed crafts & face painting
  • Follow the Jurassic Trail and complete exciting challenges

Guests are encouraged to dress up in dinosaur-themed outfits and will receive a sweet treat on arrival. 

Nick Laister, owner of Fairytale Farm, said: "We're thrilled to bring back Once Upon a Dinosaur for another action packed half term. This event is one of our most popular, and this year, we'lre making it even bigger and better. Whether you're a budding paleontologist or just love dinosaurs, there's something for everyone!

"In January, it was reported that the UK's biggest ever dinosaur trackway site had been discovered in a quarry less than 15 miles from Fairytale Farm. It's fitting that we celebrate all things dinosaur so close to this dinosaur discovery. Immerse yourself in our world of moving dinosaurs, including one which rises out of a lagoon, in Fairytale Farm's very own Dino Valley. A prehistoric adventure awaits you this half term!"

There's no extra charge for the event - visitors can enjoy all the dinosaur fun with a standard admission ticket.
