Jurassic Park: Hamilton Accies to host dinosaur display as part of three-day family fun event

There's something huge set to happen at Hamilton Accies Football Club next month.

For a life size dinosaur display is to be at the centre of the club's amazing three-day family fun event from Sunday, October 10 to Tuesday, October 12 at the Foy's stadium.

Working in conjunction with Accies Community Trust and Youth Academy, the event will see the huge Jurassic display as well as a host of other fun activities including a bouncy assault course, professional climbing wall, kids bungee jump, water bubble walk, peddle cart Grand Prix, Archery aim and the sticky ball wall.

Accies Youth Academy director George Cairns will also be offering up his own football challenge with some of his young players taking on members of the public on the tech ball tables.

As well as kids fairground rides, they can also participate in Beat the Goalie, Dribble and Score or the Safari quiz challenge where certificates and medals are all up for grabs.

Other attractions include Harley Davidson photo opportunities during the Widow's Sons motorbike display, removeable Hell's Angels tattoos, a fire engine and police car and all-day action from the magnificent Geenration Events Company.

Food will also be available all day to buy from the kiosks in the main stand.

In addition, on Sunday October 10 revellers are invited to stay on and watch as Hamilton Accies Women's team take on Glasgow Celtic Women, where they hope to create a record-breaking crowd for the ladies.

Hamilton Accies chief executive Colin McGowan said: "It has been a long, hard 18 months, and here at Hamilton Accies we want to bring a little fun back to Lanarkshire for all the family.
