A popular dinosaur trail is set to return to a Derby shopping centre this Easter.
The epic trail, interactive workshops and new shows will take place at Derbion from Friday March 27 to Sunday April 12 where shoppers can discover prehistoric creatures in Derby.
Derbion’s free Dino Trail features 14 roaring, moving dinosaurs such as the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex and flapping Pteranodon.
Eager explorers can pick up a free trail map from the customer service desk to guide them through their adventure.
New for 2026, the whole family can enjoy even more dinosaur fun with two extra special shows and interactive walkarounds featuring Bumble the Brontosaurus and his friends on Wednesday April 1 and Wednesday April 8.
Budding palaeontologists can also get hands-on with Derbion’s Fossil Finders workshops for just £3 per child.
On selected dates throughout the Easter holiday, little adventurers can dig, discover and piece together ancient fossils and bones, before working together to build a dinosaur skeleton.
There are plenty of ‘roar-some’ photo opportunities for families to enjoy for free including a Baby Dino Egg that children can pose within.
Shoppers can also discover Derbion’s wide range of shops, eateries and leisure attractions throughout the break, including Social Sports Society, Hollywood Bowl, Paradise Island Adventure Golf and Showcase Cinema De Lux.
Beth McDonald, Managing Director of Derbion, said: “We’re passionate about delivering exciting, family-friendly events for our visitors to enjoy all year round, so we’re pleased to reveal that our ever-popular Dinos will return this year.
