Enjoy the last days of the school holidays at M&D's
If you are looking to entertain the family in the run up to the schools returning, then M&D's Scotland's Theme Park has the ideal day out.
For the month of August, families can take advantage of a summer sale which features all day wristbands for just £14.50 if booked online.
As well as enjoying the Theme Park rides and attractions, visitors can enjoy free daily dinosaur shows until Sunday, August 10, featuring life-like dinosaurs including the star of the show, a Velociraptor along with its adorable babies.
The 'How to Train Your Velociraptor' show will take place daily at 12.30pm, 3.30pm and 5pm with special appearances also throughout the day.
Visitors can also join the Ranger Academy, an interactive adventure where families work together on tracking, observation and safety missions.
At 2pm there will be Ranger Training where participants can learn what it takes to survive amongst the dinos.
Jensen Taylor Connelly, M&D's Director, said, 'Once the school uniforms have been purchased there's always a rush to try and make the most of the last few weeks before the schools' return.
'We've introduced this offer to make a day out as affordable as possible. The dinosaur shows are great fun for the wee ones, but we really do have something for everyone at the Theme Park.'
Lanarkshire residents can also take advantage of the 247 First Bus Service which will pick up and drop off at various points including Hamilton Bus Station, Motherwell and Bellshill.

It is a cotton-blend fabric and midi-length dress, making it a breathable attire to wear during the warmer months. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here. Its description reads: "Available in regular or petite sizing, this gorgeous midi-length dress is perfect for summer, featuring a comfortable cotton-blend jersey fabric with a ribbed bodice, whipstitch detailing across the square neckline and straps, finished with side pockets." The Jersey Midi Summer Dress could be worn with trainers or sandals, accompanied with a pair of sunglasses and some chunky jewellery for earrings or necklace. It could also be worn in any casual setting, whether you're out in the garden, doing errands around the house, or going out and about. Alternatively, for something a bit more formal, fashion enthusiasts could purchase this gorgeous number from Marks and Spencer - Jacquard Tie Detail Mini Shift Dress from the M&S Collection, for £40. Or, at Boden, you could buy the Natalia Jersey Tea Dress that comes in a selection of unique patterns for £99. Back at Next, the Jersey Midi Summer Dress has received an impressive rating of 4.5 out of five stars based on 126 reviews. One shopper praised the dress for its accessibility. They wrote: "The dress is so comfortable to wear, lovely colour, was complimented a few times when I wore it. Would highly recommend it . Would suit tall or short people". And another happy buyer remarked: "It has pockets. It's a lovely dress, thick material, but cool enough for a hot day. Could be dressed up or down. I love mine can't wait to buy the other colours, well worth the money." While another pleased purchaser had this to say: "Loved this dress . Bought for holiday and it was gorgeous on and very comfortable in the hea . Lovely fit around bust and a nice length - midi. Fitted nicely in the right places. Colour looked great next to a tan too." But not everyone was entirely happy with the dress. One reviewer wrote: "Great for holidays, very comfortable. Only gave 4 stars as I would have preferred it about 3 inches longer." And another had a suggestion for a slight change. They said: "Exactly as I ordered a lovely dark green khaki jersey easy to wear dress. Got the 14 petite fitted well not too short as I like my knees covered. Would have liked slightly wider strap sleeves but fine." However, others were pleased. "Very comfortable , quite feminine and a lovely rich colour," one shopper reviewed. "Can be dressed up or down". And another customer penned: "Lovely dress. Easy throw on item and great breathable fabric for the warmer days. Very flattering."

Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too. Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play. Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page. You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen. Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check. If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price. You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
