Families enjoyed a programme of monster fun when Seaton put on a special day to celebrate its Jurassic heritage

Organised for the town council by its vice chairman Sharon Bruce, the action took place in Windsor Gardens.

A host of activities included a dinosaur trail with the Jurassic Coast team and Beer Youth Hostel Association, a fossil dig, kite-making, Jurassic Coast arts and crafts creating dinosaurs and ammonites and story telling featuring the wonderful world of “Ivor the Ichthyosaur”.

There was also a bouncy castle and some Jurassic balloon creations by Professor Balloonin Bonkers.
