Russ Smith, chief of Braehead Arena, said: "We have big plans here at Braehead Arena, so what better way to kick them off than with the biggest show of all – literally.
"These dinosaurs are incredible.
"I saw the show with my kids, and they loved it, so it was something I definitely wanted to bring to the arena.
"Apparently, space is sometimes an issue for the larger dinos, so this is the perfect venue – we certainly don't have any concerns on that front, so let's go big.
"We want to be everything to everyone here at Braehead Arena, so this amazing modern marvel of a show is perfect for us.
"You'll have a roaring good time."
The interactive show will see youngsters get up close with the massive creatures and learn to be a dinosaur ranger.

Ranger Danger will be the guide for the experience, and the children will have their own special ranger training in case of an escape situation.
The 75-minute interactive experience will bring audience participation, songs, dances, stomping, and the chance to meet a dinosaur.
There will be two performances, one at noon and another at 3pm.
Dinosaur fans are advised to visit the Braehead Arena website to get tickets as soon as possible, as the show is expected to sell out.

Wynne Evans accuses BBC's Strictly Come Dancing of being ‘fundamentally flawed' in its duty of care
WELSH opera singer Wynne Evans has accused the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing of being "fundamentally flawed in its duty of care". The tenor, 53, known for the insurance advertisements, competed in the 20th anniversary series of the hit dancing programme with professional dancer Katya Jones. Advertisement 4 Go Compare singer Wynne Evans claims BBC's Strictly is 'fundamentally flawed in its duty of care' after he was 'dropped' by the corporation Credit: PA 4 Opera singer was 'close to the edge' while battling illness and claims BBC 'twisted facts' Credit: Rex 4 He says he was told not to trust anyone in rehearsal room and BBC engaged in 'lies and cover-ups' to protect themselves Credit: Chris Eades In May, Evans announced he had been dropped by the BBC and would no longer present on BBC Radio Wales after apologising for using "inappropriate language" during the launch of the Strictly tour. The apology came after the Mail On Sunday reported in January he had aimed a sexual joke at one of the other professional dancers, Janette Manrara. In an Instagram post with a photo of the Strictly professionals, Evans said: "What it Feels Like to See Pictures of Strictly? "I'll be the first to admit I've made mistakes. Not quite the way the Daily Mail would have you believe, but mistakes all the same." Advertisement Evans accused the BBC of engaging in a series of "lies and cover-ups in order to absolve themselves of any wrongdoing" and said this was the "hardest part" for him. He added: "From my dealings right at the very top with (BBC director-general) Tim Davie, through BBC Wales and the HR department, one feeling has been constant: the only thing they truly care about is protecting themselves and their jobs and Ratings - people come second. "When I first stepped into the rehearsal room at Strictly, I thought it would be a magical experience. And at the start, it was. But the very first thing I was told was: 'Don't trust anyone in this room - not even me.' "That hit me hard. I've always worn my heart on my sleeve, and while I may sometimes sail close to the line, there's never malice in what I do. Advertisement "What I wasn't prepared for was the way people will protect their personal and BBC brands, at any cost." Evans claimed in his post that the HR department "twisted facts, invented files and dates, and created a version of events that simply wasn't true". Wynne Evans reveals heartbreaking conversation he had with his daughter after Strictly sacking shame "Statements were issued in my name that I hadn't even seen, let alone agreed to. My voice was taken away," he said. Evans previously said he had never approved of the statement that was issued by the BBC in January in which he apologised for making an "inappropriate and unacceptable" comment. Advertisement At the time, a BBC spokesperson said: "The apology issued on Wynne's behalf by the Strictly Come Dancing Tour PR representative on Saturday January 25 was fully approved by Wynne." Evans also said in his post on Tuesday: "Tim Davie publicly promised that the BBC would safeguard people who took part in Strictly. "I thought about that promise while sitting in a psychiatrist's office near the BBC, staring out of the window at the BBC building, fighting to save my own life. That's how close I came to the edge. "I'm not writing this as a victim, as I said I will own my mistakes. I'm writing it because the system is broken. Advertisement "Strictly is now fundamentally flawed in its duty of care. It's allowed to continue because of ratings, while people's wellbeing is left in tatters." The BBC published a review in 2024 that looked into allegations of bullying and harassment against former Strictly dancer Giovanni Pernice, made by his former dance partner Amanda Abbington. The corporation upheld some but not all of the complaints made and introduced a series of new measures aimed at improving welfare. This included the introduction of a chaperone who is present "at all times" during training room rehearsals. Advertisement Evans performed in the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Of The Opera and won 2023's Celebrity MasterChef. In May, he told the Sun that the comment he made on the Strictly Come Dancing tour was not sexual or directed at one of the female cast, but instead was a nickname for fellow contestant, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick. In June, the opera singer announced his return to radio with The Wynne Evans Show, a live weekday internet broadcast. The BBC declined to comment on Evans' social media post.

Gage & Tollner
Any restaurant contending with legacy must reckon with change; how to respect the past while articulating a vision for the future. Overzealous revision can exorcise a place's spirit. Reluctance to adapt can precipitate a slump into complacency. In the case of Downtown Brooklyn's nearly 150-year-old steakhouse, Gage & Tollner, a new generation of owners–Sohui Kim, Ben Schneider, and St. John Frizell–have navigated the dilemma with finesse. That it's virtually impossible to discern which elements were added from whatever was uncovered or restored is a testament to the design's overall effectiveness. Touches recall the restaurant's Gilded Age founding, but overall, the handsome decor feels timeless. The cocktail menu is sharp as a straight razor, each of the menu's classics executed with clarity, sincerity, and precision. Beer-wise, there are some local craft brews on tap and a nice selection of bottles. The wine list is extensive, so put your would-be sommelier friend to work. The Caesar salad inaugurating our meal was, in a word, terrific. And chef Sohui Kim's most overt menu nod to her Korean identity, Clams Kimisino, was a favorite of the night: the little jewels topped with golden breadcrumbs tossed in bacon/kimchi butter. Perfectly temped to a honeysuckle pink, the NY strip was finished with an herb and garlic butter-baste whose perfume lingered between bites. Far from an afterthought, the sides—creamed spinach and butter-roasted hashbrowns—rivaled the steak for my affection. The non-chophouse fare was equally successful. A play on ratatouille elevated a beautifully seared trout's mild sweetness. And the fried chicken—a loving realization of chef Edna Lewis' recipe—achieved the all-important interplay between juicy, flavorsome meat and crunchy, seasoned crust. For dessert, pastry chef Kathryn Irizarry wows. Witnessing a crown of crisp meringue land at other tables made the baked Alaska for two impossible to resist. If you have room, try the chevre cheesecake, whose richness and subtle goat-cheese tang are cut by a bright citrus cream and lip-smacking pomegranate/hibiscus sauce. This isn't a bank-balance-nullifying meal, but with mains for one ranging from $32 to $74, the little neighborhood bistro this ain't. Luckily, the portions were generous, and a fair number of the entrees are share plates anyway. The minds and talents behind this new iteration of Gage & Tollner have not negotiated the dilemma posed by change so much as prevailed over it. Managing to both honor and redefine an institution, G&T's legacy is not only secured but reasserted, at least for the foreseeable future.

Dame Joan Collins teams up with M&S for an unexpected launch just weeks after cyber attack
Following its cyber attack in April, Marks & Spencer has finally reinstated full online shopping, and just in time for its latest partnership with Dame Joan Collins After hitting pause on all online shopping back in April after an unprecedented cyber attack, Marks & Spencer has been gradually reinstating all of its online shopping to customers. Now, as of July, customers are able to order from the whole website, and it couldn't have come at a better time, as the high street fave has just teamed up with another icon. Partnering with Dame Joan Collins – one of M&S Food's ambassadors – you can now shop a beautiful flower bouquet designed by the Dame herself. The Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase is the second arrangement designed by the actress following the success of her first last year, and features some of her most-loved flowers in a beautiful, timeless bouquet. The Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase (£75) contains a huge variety of white flowers, with 40 different stems including avalanche roses, oriental lilies, freesias, laurel sprigs, and gold eucalyptus stems. Dame Joan Collins said: 'From London to Los Angeles, I always mark special occasions with my favourite flowers – the timeless elegance of white lilies and roses make them the perfect gift.' Thanks to the white, gold and green colour combination, the arrangement looks elegant, full and is definitely a showstopper, making it perfect for a table arrangement, centrepiece, or somewhere prominent like a hall table or coffee table. The flowers arrive in bud, allowing them to bloom in the following days so you get more from your arrangement. The Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase also arrives with the perfect sized vase for the bouquet, so you don't need to hunt around for the right shape or size to display them at their best. Instead they arrive ready to go, so you can enjoy them for longer. You can pick up a similar bouquet at Prestige Flowers, with the Rome arrangement also featuring avalanche roses, calla lilies, lisianthus, thistle and eucalyptus, combining elegant all-white colours with contrasting greenery. The bouquet is priced at £49.99 for a standard bunch, with an additional £5 charge for a medium arrangement or a £10 extra cost for a showstopping large bunch. If you want something seasonal that's guaranteed to bring a little joy to your home, Bloom & Wild's The British Sunflowers Bouquet is currently on sale, down from £42 to £33.60. It contains 16 stems of sunflowers, agapanthus and solidago, and arrives hand tied and delivered directly to your doorstep. The M&S Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase also arrives directly to your doorstep inside a protective ribbon-tied box, with gold and purple tissue paper. All you need to do is trim the steps and arrange them in the included vase with some water and flower food to create a bouquet fit for a Dame.
