T REX will be back from extinction for a meet and greet at Barrow Market.

Barrow Market will be holding a free family event on Friday August 2 for children to head into the market for a chance to catch a snap with T Rex.

The event will be held from 11.30am – 2.30pm.

A spokesperson from the market said: "So the school holidays are approaching and we’ve got the perfect event lined up for some free family fun to get the holidays off to a roaring start.

"T Rex is visiting our market on Friday August 2, but are you brave enough to come in and meet him? Put the date in your diary and call in to Barrow Market Hall, there’s free face painting too."
