London's Natural History Museum is offering families and grown-ups the chance to sleepover with the dinosaurs and learn more about the great beasts that once roamed the earth.

They have released new dates for their after-hours Dino Snores experiences this autumn including exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of the world famous museum.

The Dino Snores for Kids experience on Saturday 5 October is for ages 7-17 while on Friday 6 September there's an exclusive event for Grown Ups.

Visitors will have access to the museum after it closes to the public before bedding down beneath the 25-metre blue whale called Hope.

Families will take part in activities including a show filled with fascinating facts about the natural world presented by one of the Museum’s scientists, followed by a torchlight tour around the Museum, and a chance to try their hand at a dinosaur t-shirt workshop, before tucking for a bedtime story.

Grown Up evenings will see guests explore the Museum after dark, tuck into a delicious three-course dinner, enjoy a pub quiz, an incredible science show, stand-up comedy, and a late-night movie marathon.
