TV presenter and scientific expert Ben Garrod will be heading to the Cheese & Grain, Frome, on Sunday 5th February with his ‘So You Think You Know About Dinosaurs?’ tour to show kids how wacky and wild dinosaurs really were!
Organisers say, “All the things you thought you knew about dinosaurs are probably wrong. Instead of being green and scaly, they actually almost all had feathers and instead of making terrifying, ferocious roars, they sounded more like garden birds!
“‘So You Think You Know About Dinosaurs?’ will be a hands-on, fantastic fun-filled trip out for the whole family. Ben will give kids the chance to shout out what they already know and discover new strange dino sights and sounds. From the longest, to the smallest, the tallest to the shortest, creepiest to cutest, Ben will have kids’ heads spinning with weird and wonderful stats and facts.
“Ben is best known for co-presenting the BBC One show Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaur with the legendary wildlife TV presenter David Attenborough. Ben is excited to go on an adventure with his audience and hopes to learn a few new facts for himself along the way.”
Ben said, “We have all at some point had a fascination with dinosaurs or thought they’re pretty cool. I want to give families the chance to take everything they thought they knew about these ancient animals and discover the truth.
“We’ll be using the most recent and up to date studies to give audiences as many amazing and cool facts as we can. I have done talks where kids will stick up their hands and ask me questions I don’t know the answer to, so maybe I’ll learn something too!”
Ben will certainly be put to the test when he is quizzed by the younger generation of geniuses! Will he be outsmarted by a clever and intellectual five year-old? Were dinosaurs really that dangerous? Were they green or were some of them actually ginger? From bizarre Brontosaurus’ to peculiar Pamporaptors, this fantastic family event promises to leave children on the edge of their seats and take adults back to their youth.
