Thousands of people packed out Market Rasen Racecourse for a fun-filled family extravaganza, and it wasn’t just the horses stealing the spotlight!
The Lindsey Lodge Hospice Dinosaur Day on Sunday saw a huge triceratops, a cheeky T-rex and a sneaky spinosaurus join in the show, but the prehistoric animals stuck to entertaining the crowds firmly off the race track.
Families were treated to dinosaur shows throughout the day and little ones could bounce to their hearts’ content on a range of exciting inflatables.
There was even a chance for children to race on the course themselves – way before the horses got anywhere near the track, of course.

If that wasn’t enough, a share of cash from every ticket sold will go to Scunthorpe’s Lindsey Lodge Hospice, to help the charity continue its amazing work.

Several residents have continued to vigilantly monitor the River Witham’s water levels, prepared with sandbags outside their homes as a precaution after Storm Babet damaged two sections of the riverbank. But, despite the looming threat, there is a prevailing sense of confidence among the community, suggesting that further flooding is unlikely.
News that a £165,000 improvement project on the Handley Monument in Sleaford will commence early next year has been supported by local residents, who feel it is a much needed addition to the town centre, but it hasn’t come without its fair share of criticism.
