What’s On


War Tales


A new exhibition has been created by volunteers at the Cheshire Military Museum, Chester.


MegaMonsters


Dinosaurs will come to life at Chester Zoo this year in what promises to be one of the most exciting and most interactive exhibits ever seen in a UK zoo.


The new exhibition, featuring 19 life-like mechanical replicas of the creatures that roamed the earth 200 million years ago, will open on 1st April.


Featuring realistic movements and sounds, the dinosaurs will include the giant Brachiosaurus, the iconic Stegosaurus and the infamous Tyrannosaurus Rex, the most feared land predator of all time.


The animated robots from America will be part of an atmospheric outdoor trail showing visitors exactly what it would have been like to get close to such huge beasts.


With ‘Dinosaur Keepers’ on-hand to teach


families all about the inhabitants and a series of special effects in place, the exhibition promises to be a highly interactive experience for visitors.


It will run until 4th November and will be open every day.


Don't miss it!


Chester Zoo is a registered conservation charity and supports projects around the world and closer to home in Cheshire.


Welcoming 1.3 million visitors a year, it is the largest zoo in the UK; home to 7000 animals, 400 different species, many of which are endangered.


Visitwww.chesterzoo.org for details.


It showcases the many aspects of army life in Victorian and Edwardian times through to the outbreak of the Great War.


Through archive photographs viewers will gain a real sense of a soldier’s experiences including Overseas Service, Campaigns, Uniforms, Ceremonial rituals and family life.


There is also a Timeline showing memorable dates allowing people to relate to the conflicts through events that were happening in the wider world.


The display has been made possible by the hard work of volunteers digitising the archive collection.


This long term project was begun in 2011 and will make many of the Regimental archives much easier to access and help with their preservation for the future.


The exhibition runs until 7th June.
