A display featuring Lego dinosaurs at an East Yorkshire attraction has been extended due to its popularity.

The Dinosaurs tour by model-builders Iconic Bricks is now on display at Sewerby Hall and Gardens until 23 September, four days longer than originally scheduled.

There are 18 life-sized models dotted across the hall's grounds and gardens for families to find.

Councillor Nick Coultish, East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s cabinet member for leisure and tourism, said it was "wonderful to see the extension of such a fantastic event" and said the exhibition's dinosaur theme "is proving to be extremely popular!’’

Models on the trail include a triceratops, a stegosuarus, an iguanadon and a baby T-Rex.

Each of the installations features a plaque with information about how many Lego pieces the dinosaur is made from and how long they took to craft.

Some of the models took up to 400 hours and 250,000 pieces to complete.
