Shoppers in Motherwell had a roaring good time this afternoon, as they came face-to-face with a dinosaur.

Crowds quickly gathered at the town centre's hub of stores to marvel at and take selfies with the life-like creature, whose appearance was part of a publicity event to promote new show Jurassic Adventures.

Coming to Motherwell Concert Hall later this month, the all-new production - described as "the most exciting family show since time began" - is set on a magical island filled with fun, thrills and plenty of the unexpected.

Be transported to a pre-historic age by taking in the action and adventure on Thursday, October 15.

Tickets are priced at £16, £14 for concessions, or £50 for a family of four, and can be purchased by calling 01698 403120 or online at www.culturenl.co.uk.
