Dinosaurs are coming to West Oxfordshire!

Parents and children in West Oxfordshire are being invited on a ‘roarsome’ trail to search for dinosaurs, as part of the Love West Oxfordshire campaign to encourage residents to get out and about, and shop locally.


The trails are running from August 2 to September 4 in Witney, Carterton, and Chipping Norton. As you make your way along the trails you will be able to view videos of dinosaurs in that area along with some interesting facts about that dinosaur.


There is a prize draw to win a family day pass at Cogges Manor Farm, every clip viewed of a dinosaur counts as an entry to the prize draw and an opportunity to win a family day pass at Cogges Manor Farm.


Cllr Duncan Enright, Cabinet Member for Economic Development, said, “I’m really excited about the dinosaurs coming to West Oxfordshire! I hope that local families make the most of these excellent trails and come out and find as many dinosaurs as possible.


“It is so important for our wonderful local businesses that people get out and explore the local areas whilst supporting them. The LoyalFree app is a great way to shop and save money at independent shops.


“I’m thrilled that Cogges Manor Farm has offered us this great prize to give away to one lucky family. A great day out for all!”


The dinosaur trails are aimed at children and families but the LoyalFree app also provides trails that are more suited to adults too, such as the Downton Abbey Trail and Witney Historic Sites trail.
