"With over 10 different Jurassic Park vehicles, 'real' dinosaurs, animatronic velociraptors and green screen photo shoots there is something for all Jurassic Park fans," he said.

"All of this will be taking place alongside our usual day-to-day activities such as sheep racing, meet the meerkat, deer feeding and many more."

Will added: "Taking place at 8.30pm on August 30, experience Jurassic Park like you never have before. Walk through Hoo-Rassic World – keeping an eye out for our Velociraptors and dodging the T-Rex before watching the movie on the big screen whilst our dinosaurs move around you.

"Don't worry though, the Jurassic Park wardens with their vehicles will be in attendance to keep all spectators safe!"
