🦖 Dinosaur World Live – The Olivier Award–Winning Family Show We Can’t Wait to See!
As a mum constantly on the hunt for fun, screen-free things to do with the kids (that don’t cost the earth), Dinosaur World Live is one show I’m genuinely buzzing about. And guess what? Eliza and I have been invited as guests of the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield – and we are super excited to go and experience it for ourselves!
This isn’t just any show – it’s the winner of the 2024 Olivier Award for Best Family Show. That’s basically the theatre world’s stamp of ‘absolutely brilliant for families’ – and the reviews back it up.
Date: Thu 19 – Sat 21 Jun
Venue: Lyceum
Times: 1:30pm / 4:30pm / 11am / 2pm
Age: guidance 3+
Running time: around 1 hour and 15 minutes (no interval)
Book for the Lyceum now.
What is Dinosaur World Live?
It’s a fully immersive, interactive stage adventure where kids (and, let’s be honest, grown-ups, too) get to meet life-size, astonishingly realistic dinosaurs. Guided by a fearless explorer, the audience journeys across uncharted lands, discovering dinosaurs like:
🦖 Tyrannosaurus Rex (yep – the big one)
🦕 Triceratops
🦕 Giraffatitan
🦖 Microraptor
🦕 Segnosaurus
It’s smart, exciting, and designed to educate as well as entertain. There’s even a meet-and-greet after the show where kids can get up close with the dinosaurs – perfect for that magical moment and a photo you’ll treasure.
Why I Think It’s One to Book This Summer
- It’s genuinely award-winning – Not many kids’ shows get Olivier-level praise.
- It’s interactive – Kids get to roar, react, and feel part of the show.
- It’s great for all ages – Eliza is 4, and she loves dinosaurs – but I’ve seen older kids come out just as excited.
- Post-show meet & greet – A 15-minute chance for your child to meet a dinosaur and get that picture-perfect moment.
- It’s not just fun – it’s clever – There’s storytelling, puppetry, science, and a sprinkle of magic.
🗓️ Where and When?
Dinosaur World Live is touring across the UK, and we’re catching it at the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield. You can check the official tour dates here to find your nearest venue.
👉 But seriously – book early. This one’s popular, and tickets sell fast (just like Microraptor!).
🧡 Final Thoughts
I’ll be sharing our behind-the-scenes look and what Eliza thinks of the show soon on the blog and socials, so keep your eyes peeled. But if you’re looking for something different to do this summer – something that sparks joy and imagination and gives your kids a story to tell – this is it.
