Warrington is gearing up for a thrilling prehistoric adventure as Parr Hall becomes a destination for the Natural History Museum’s first-ever theatrical tour, Dinosaurs Live.
On Saturday, September 13th, families will have the chance to step back in time with a spectacular show featuring lifelike animatronic dinosaurs, including a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Diplodocus, and Velociraptor.
Designed for children aged three and above, the production will combine jaw-dropping visuals with fascinating insights into the ancient history of our planet.
Maxine Lister, Head of Licensing at the Natural History Museum, said: “Dinosaurs Live promises to be the perfect gateway into a fascination with the prehistoric, suitable for all the family. This is the first time – since it opened in 1881 – that the museum has created a touring theatrical production of this scale, that will be taken outside our iconic venue and onto stages across the country.”
Mark Thompson, Director of Mark Thompson Productions, added: “We’re delighted to be partnering with the Natural History Museum in their first-ever theatrical live show.
“Dinosaurs Live is an opportunity to take one of the world’s most respected organisations to theatres around the country and introduce audiences to the wonderful work that has led to the Natural History Museum being one of the UK’s most prized assets. The live show will take a fun, engaging and entertaining approach whilst keeping the heart of the educational aspects at the core of the production. This show will be aimed at all the family and, with the plans around the animatronic dinosaurs already being developed, promises to ensure that all that attend will have a roar-some, fun-filled time!”
The Parr Hall performances are scheduled for Saturday, September 13th, 2025, with shows at 12.30pm and 3.30pm at Parr Hall, Palmyra Square South, Warrington, WA1 1BL.
