This half-term children in Bury St Edmunds had the chance to meet a pair of dinosaurs at St Edmundsbury Cathedral.
Teach Rex was at the cathedral on Wednesday, with their life size animatronic dinosaurs, entertaining youngsters at two packed-out sessions.
The cathedral also hosted free prehistoric-themed activities for families on Tuesday and Thursday, which included arts and crafts sessions.

Christine Day, who met the duo of dinosaurs on Wednesday, alongside her granddaughter Rosie, said: “The dinosaurs were so big and fast and there were some good games that got the audience involved. It was busy and there was a good photo opportunity with the dinosaurs.
“Rosie liked the science facts.”

“Dinosaurs are always popular with young children, and this is a fantastic opportunity for them to engage with life-size versions.”
