WEYMOUTH residents can expect a ‘roarsome’ Easter with a number of free events on offer organised by the town’s Business Improvement District.

The Jurassic Egg Hunt will start on Friday, March 30, and will run until Sunday, April 15. Young explorers will be able to follow a trail of clues around Weymouth town to find Jurassic Dino Eggs in local shops and businesses.

The aim is to solve the riddle to discover where a very rare T-Rex Egg has been hidden.

Trail forms can be collected from the Weymouth BID office at 15 St Alban Street or downloaded from the weareweymouth website from Friday March 30.

Entrants need to complete and return their trail form by Monday 16th April to be in with a chance of winning a bag full of Easter goodies

Retailers and businesses will be taking part by displaying a dinosaur egg and clue amongst their products.

All children taking part in the Jurassic Egg Hunt must be accompanied by an adult.

On Saturday March 31, Weymouth will host its ‘Roarsome Dino Day’, with an exciting mix of dinosaur related activities that will keep young explorers busy all day.

The free activities will start at 11am and continue until 3.30pm with events such as A Dino Passport Quest, Dino Mask Colouring, Dino Mask Parade, Dino dancing and a Dino Roar Competition.

Claudia Moore, Chief Operating Officer of the Weymouth BID, said: “I cannot wait to meet the dinosaurs face to face. It promises to be an exciting experience straight from Jurassic Park when T Rex Junior will thrill and, possibly, intrigue quite a few young explorers. T-Rex Junior has been supplied by The Twins FX who are based in Wareham and who supply many special effects to the Weymouth Pavilion Pantos and shows.”
