After receiving over 4000 5 star reviews for their events and selling out hundreds of shows around the UK, the award winning Teach Rex team are delighted to be bringing this unique, interactive show to the families of Chippenham after performing over 45 shows at the Natural History Museum!

The show is teamed with effects, music and gives children and their families the chance to get up close and personal with these fantastic, realistic beasts.
