Swindon families have been invited to meet dinosaurs at a nearby farm. 

In the latest event from Roves Farm, in Sevenhampton, the venue's usual residents - like sheep, cows and pigs - will be joined by something altogether more unusual. 

Don't worry, they haven't escaped like in the iconic 1993 Steven Spielberg film Jurassic Park, they're there on purpose, and they're completely safe (we're told).

The dinosaurs have been brought to life by Totally Crazy Entertainment and, in partnership with the local farm, will be roaming around for children visiting during a limited time to interact with. 

Each day from April 29 to May 1 will feature several interactive live shows, meet & greet with the dinos and their keepers and a fossil dig and some lucky children will even get to walk their own dinosaur.

Plus all of the usual farm activities such as meeting & feeding the animals and tractor rides will still be taking place as normal.

Tickets for the farm are usually £10.90 and the dino encounter comes at no extra cost but must be pre-booked on the specific dates via www.rovesfarm.co.uk.
