THIS weekend will mark the Blue Planet Aquarium's 20th anniversary.

Opening in 1998, the aquarium has welcomed guests from all over the world including the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

To mark this special birthday, the aquarium will host a weekend-long celebration on 28 to 29 July and will slash ticket prices.

Sales and marketing executive at the Blue Planet Aquarium Phil Jones said: "We have our Jurassic Shark event in full swing with our Aquatheatre shows reflecting on the connection between dinosaurs and our sharks.

"We also have a dinosaur footprint trail, plus a fossil dig at weekends, where kids can take home a real fossil.

"In addition to all that, we will also have a ticket sale next week in the lead up to the anniversary weekend – one standard and one junior ticket for only £20.”
