In an interactive feast for the senses, children and parents join Marsha the Megalosaurus on her quest to make a friend, inspired by The Lonely Only Dinosaur, written by Olivia Hope and illustrated by Anna Süßbauer.

Learn about amazing fossils in Ireland, including two special dinosaur fossils, and then turn yourself into a stomping, roaring dinosaur too! Children (and grown-ups!) can create their own colourful dinosaur feet and a dinosaur puppet head, and do a dinosaurs' favourite dance. Do the Dino Dance! is an interactive, engaging and colourful craft and dance session for children. Stomp along and find your own roar!

Duration: One hour. Ages 4-10

Please note: This is an event for a maximum of 30 children. Booking is required only for children attending the event. Accompanying parents and guardians do not need to book a seat. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of events in St Brendan’s School Hall.

Marsha the megalosaurus lives all alone on a tiny island. She loves it there, but one day she notices a very funny feeling – could she be… lonely? So when she spots a small scelidosaurus, Moss, on the opposite side of the swamp, she decides to make friends with him. But however hard she tries, Marsha just keeps scaring Moss away – will she be a lonely only dinosaur forever? A gorgeous, funny story, inspired by the fact that only two dinosaur bones have ever been found in Ireland – one from a megalosaurus (carnivore) and one from a scelidosaurus (herbivore).
