Family Fun Day<br />

Haigh Woodland transforms into Jurassic Park on<br />

Saturday July 10th when two life size dinosaurs – Raptor<br />

and Roxy – arrive along with a brood of baby dinosaurs.<br />

A family friendly event in one of the region’s best loved<br />

woodland parks. Have a roaring good time with life-size<br />

dinosaurs and their rangers roaming the park.<br />

Raptor is the first animatronic Velociraptor in the UK,<br />

measuring just over four metres long, whilst Rexy is a<br />

juvenile T-Rex. She is a handful, but she loves to meet<br />

people and sometime chase them.<br />

The rangers will be on hand to share all their amazing<br />

knowledge and facts for any aspiring palaeontologists.<br />

Song and dance shows with the rangers and baby<br />

dinosaurs will take place throughout the day.<br />

You’ll be able to download an app which will help you<br />

hunt down the dinosaurs on your phone and see them<br />

come to life when you find them. There will be prizes for<br />

the best photos submitted from the day. There will also be<br />

20 dinosaur eggs hidden around the park and woodland.<br />

outside so participants can paint clay models of dinosaurs<br />

and fossils, though charges do apply for this activity.<br />

Otherwise the event is free and car parking for the day<br />

costs just £3.<br />

Parbulele Returns<br />

Parbold will once again reverberate with the sound of<br />

ukuleles as Lancashire’s biggest and brightest ukulele<br />

festival returns to the village this summer. Events take<br />

place over the weekend of 30th July to 1st <strong>August</strong> at the<br />

village’s pubs: The Wayfarer, The Stocks and The Windmill.<br />

In addition, there will be music at the main festival venue<br />

at Mill Leat and at the community café Café Etc. on Station<br />

Road.<br />

For those who fancy learning or improving their ukulele<br />

skills, workshops will be running throughout the<br />

weekend. All profits from the weekend will be donated to<br />
