School Workshop FAQS
To ensure a smooth and successful workshop, particularly for our Deluxe Dinosaur Workshop featuring Mr. Rex, please note the following parking and access requirements. Our team arrives in a large Luton van, which is approximately 10m long and wide, and requires suitable space for parking and unloading.
For the finale with our animatronic dinosaur, Mr. Rex, we need a fairly short and direct route from the van to the performance hall. This path must be free of steps and have a minimum access width of 90cm (double doors are ideal). The performance space itself must be large enough to accommodate our display, the pupils, and Mr. Rex, who is 4.5m long and 90cm wide, with a tail that can reach up to 3m high.
If you have any concerns about whether your school or venue can meet these requirements, we highly recommend a quick phone or video call beforehand. This will allow us to discuss the logistics and make any necessary preparations, ensuring there are no surprises on the day. We are happy to work around most obstacles, as long as we are informed in advance.
For our standard workshops, we require approximately two hours for setup. We use 4-6 tables to set up our display of models and artefacts, which will remain in place until the workshop is finished.
For our 'One Hour Wonder' workshops, the setup time is much quicker, at around 30 minutes.
For most of our workshops, which are delivered by one person, we may require some brief assistance from you during the setup and pack-up stages. This is mainly for our larger models. If you book a Deluxe workshop, two staff members will be present, so no carrying assistance will be needed. If you think providing assistance might be an issue, we can provide an extra staff member for an additional cost.
We provide templates and rubber moulds for our optional art and craft activities, which are designed to be run in your classrooms by your staff. You will need to source some accompanying materials yourself, such as plaster of Paris. However, we can supply these materials for a small extra cost per pupil if you prefer.
All payments must be received on or before the date of the workshop. There is no VAT to add to our prices. If a payment is not made on time without a reasonable cause or communication, a late payment fee of £75 will be charged.

Dear Dinogirl, Thank you so much for the Virtual Workshop session today. The children loved it! Sorry about the awkward questions – maybe we had covered so efficiently about dinosaurs before your visit that the children were only left with hard questions!!! They were unanimous in liking the moving triceratops most! Thanks again, Oak Class. Following Reception Yr Virtual workshop 30th March 2021
