A new family musical adventure with dinosaurs, comedy and audience interaction, from the team behind Jurassic Live.
Jurassic Wild: The Musical Adventure is coming to Vaillant Live on 24 and 25 July 2027, a brand-new family musical from the team behind Jurassic Live. It's aimed at dinosaur fans young and old, and it's built for a family outing rather than a quiet night in.
The story follows a mum, a dad and their tech-obsessed teenager who head into the wilderness for one last family camping weekend before college, only to discover they've travelled 65 million years into the past. From there, it's a mix of dinosaurs, catchy songs, comedy, and some dinosaur facts woven in. There's audience interaction too, so it's not just sitting and watching—the crowd gets pulled into the action. It's the kind of thing that works as well for the kids as it does for the adults who still have a soft spot for the prehistoric.

Vaillant Live is at 2 Colyear Street in the heart of Derby, a 3,500-capacity venue that handles concerts, family events, sports and conferencing, and is part of the ASM Global family. If you're coming from out of town or want to make a full day of it, there are a few easy stops nearby. The Derby Museum of Making and Derby Cathedral are both close enough for a pre-show visit, and once the curtain comes down, the Cathedral Quarter has The Spice Lounge, the Grade II listed Old Bell Hotel and Electric Daisy for a drink or a meal. The show runs over two dates, 24 and 25 July 2027, at Vaillant Live, 2 Colyear Street, Derby DE1 1LA.
