Families looking for excitement during the summer holidays will be able to camp with dinosaurs at Jimmy's Farm starting from today.

Jimmy's Farm is hosting the event to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

A spokesperson for the park said: “We are thrilled to experience a step back in time at Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park with the exciting opportunity to meet a range of dinosaurs such as the triceratops and raptors.”

During the festivities, they will also be raising money and awareness to stop the extinction of the Barbary macaques, a species of monkey native to North Africa that is currently listed as endangered.
