According to their website, the touring event is a unique inflatable bounce park combined with a labyrinth of rope climbs and netting that offers a more unique experience to the more traditional inflatable play areas.

The experience includes an all-weather inflatable play zone, tunnels, rope nets, a football target wall, basket balls hoops and a climbing wall, all housed in a 12m high big top tent.

The company behind the event, Relevention Ltd, hosts various themed attractions including a Christmas market, golf courses, beach bars and dinosaur expereinces.

They will be announcing new dates for next year once they have been confirmed.
