Roarminster continues to be a “brilliant addition” to Warminster, with thousands of visitors coming to town to see the impressive dinosaur models.

Warminster Town Council has funded a free dinosaur trail featuring six models across five locations, with the dinosaurs remaining on display until Saturday 5th September.

Visitors and residents can follow the Roarminster trail, find the dinosaurs, enter a word scramble prize draw at Warminster Civic Centre and enjoy dinosaur-themed activities throughout the summer holidays.

‘𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐭’

Cllr Jack Jones, Mayor of Warminster, said: “Roarminster has been another brilliant addition to Warminster’s summer events programme, bringing families into the town centre to explore, have fun and support local businesses.

“It is fantastic to see so many people taking part in the trail. We hope even more visitors will come along and discover everything Warminster has to offer. If you have not taken part yet, there is still plenty of time to join the dinosaur hunt and enjoy a great day out in our town.”

Local businesses across the town have fully embraced Roarminster with excellently decorated windows displayed at various locations across the town giving visitors even more to explore during their visit to Warminster.

There is also still time to take part in the Roarminster loyalty card scheme, which offers a top prize of a £500 voucher to spend at participating Warminster businesses.

Run by Warminster Business Network (WBN), the dinosaur-themed initiative encourages residents and visitors to shop locally and return to the town centre throughout the summer.

Shoppers receive one stamp for every £10 spent with a participating business. Collect 10 stamps to be entered into the draw for the £500 voucher prize. Terms and conditions apply.

Town councillors have issued no objections to the latest planning application to re-develop 3 High Street – although they have requested conditions.

The planning application for the construction of a new building containing a shop and ten flats and associated external works was discussed at a Planning Advisory Committee on Monday 16th February 2026, featuring input from Ian Frostick, Chair of Feoffees St Lawrence Chapel.

Cllr Phil Keeble explained: “There was a unanimous decision of no objections to the application to re-develop No 3 The High Street. It is important that any new building should fit in within these historic surroundings.

"The committee asked that planning permission is only granted if changes proposed by the Wiltshire Council conservation officer where added as a condition of consent being granted.

"The committee also asked that the developer should incorporate sound proofing to the apartments to minimise sound levels from the newly restored chiming clock bells of St Lawrence Chapel.

"The site is in private ownership and the decision to be made is about the application submitted. If residents have other suggestions they would need to lobby councillors, the site however would be costly to buy and convert, this would be from taxpayers’ money.”

In March 2024, it was announced that the building would finally be demolished after many years of being a blight on the town centre.

The comments from Warminster Town Council are only advisory, any decision on whether to grant planning permission and any associated conditions will be made by Wiltshire Council.
