dinosaur fans have less than two weeks left to see a popular exhibition.

Walking with Dinosaurs: The Exhibition has attracted thousands of visitors to the Hancock Museum in Newcastle, since it opened in November.

It is based on the BBC television programme of the same name and features some of the models used in the series, as well as fossils.

Curator Steve McLean said: "Walking with Dinosaurs : the Exhibition provides a unique opportunity to come face-to-face with many of the dinosaur models used in the programme as well as finding out lots of facts about these wonderful creatures. It should definitely not be missed."

The exhibition closes on Sunday February 24.

Talks on fossils will be given tomorrow and on Friday, at 11am, 1am and 1.30pm. Youngsters will be able to design a dinosaur diorama on Wednesday and Thursday at 10.30am and 1.30pm
