There be dragons at the Guildhall in King's Lynn

The free event starts at noon and runs 'til 4pm with no need to book. The event is followed by free admission to the feature film 'How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (PG)' at the Guildhall Theatre with free popcorn which children can collect in the foyer.

Tim FitzHigham, Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk Creative Director, said:

"Dragons have always been a big part of life at St George’s Guildhall. We have records of Dragon Collars being on site from the 1500s, which must have been a lot bigger and stronger than dog collars! We’ve got so much going on during the day for families to come and enjoy, with a deadly dragons trail, face painting, archery, brass rubbing and and even an opportunity to meet a real dragon - don't worry we’ll make sure it’s on a collar!"

Activities run from noon until 4pm:

• Test your aim on the archery range with Grey Goose Archery
• Meet real ‘dragons’ and more creatures with the team from The Animal Experience
• Watch In Search of St George a short play by Time Will Tell Theatre Company

• Take part in the Deadly Dragons trail
