🦖 Wee Weekender | 21–22 Feb – Dino Roars, LEGO Paws & Lunar New Year Magic! 🐉

Hey hey, Wee Weekenders! 👋

It’s shaping up to be a BIG one across Glasgow and beyond – we’ve got dinosaurs stomping into Lanarkshire, LEGO puppies up for grabs, lion dances, live football, pottery painting, trading cards galore… and that’s just scratching the surface.

If you’ve got energetic wee ones (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?), this weekend is basically your Super Bowl.

Here’s what’s on for 21st–22nd February – get the diaries out! 🗓️

🦖 Dinosaurs Roar!

Dinosaurs have officially taken over Clyde Valley Family Park… and yes, you can meet them 👀 Expect roaming dinos, fossil digs, dino games (Tricera-ring-toss, anyone?), and even the chance to brave a photo inside a T-Rex’s mouth. There’s fancy dress encouragement too, so dig out that dino onesie! All the extra activities are included with your park entry – roar-some value.

📍 Clyde Valley Family Park, Crossford ML8 5NJ
⏰ 21st & 22nd February 2026, 10am – 5pm
💷 Included with park admission (Under 2s go FREE)
