What it’s like
A field full of giant bouncy castles, slides and a fairground carousel, but only during school holidays and only when it's dry.
This is bouncy castles taken to a silly scale, outdoors, with a beach area of sand and deckchairs thrown in and a fairground bit with a carousel and roundabouts running alongside. There are slides and obstacle courses for the ones confident enough to want a challenge, and a separate toddler play area fenced off for under-4s so they're not getting flattened by a running six-year-old. Each inflatable has its own height limit clearly marked, so a smaller child might get waved off the big stuff and pointed at something more their size.
Sessions run for two and a half hours, either 11 to 1.30 or 2.30 to 5, and you can book both if you fancy making a full day of it. It's £12.95 for a child bounce, £9.95 for toddlers aged 1 to 3, and under-1s go free. Adults pay the same £12.95 to bounce alongside their kids, or £2.50 to just stand and supervise, which is a fair option if bouncing's not your thing anymore.
Socks or bare feet only, no shoes on the inflatables, and every group needs an adult of 16 or over taking responsibility. Food's limited to what's sold on site, burgers, hot dogs, breakfast rolls, ice cream and the rest, so you're not smuggling in a picnic. The one real catch is the weather: these are outdoor inflatables, and if rain's forecast your session gets cancelled with as much notice as they can manage, and they'll send a QR code to rebook. Parking's included in the ticket, with room for at least 100 cars, which is one less thing to think about.
It's also only open during local school holidays, so this isn't a term-time Saturday plan. Worth building the rain risk into your day, maybe with a backup for the afternoon if the forecast looks dodgy.

Plan your visit
How much does it cost?
£12.95 for a child bounce (age 4 and up), £9.95 for toddlers aged 1 to 3, and under-1s go free. Adults pay £12.95 to bounce or £2.50 just to watch.
How long do we get?
Each session is two and a half hours, either the morning slot from 11 to 1.30 or the afternoon one from 2.30 to 5. You can book both sessions if you want a longer day.
Is it open all year?
No, it only runs during local school holidays, every day through them, but not in term time.
What happens if it rains?
The inflatables aren't safe when wet, so a rained-off session gets cancelled with as much warning as they can give. You'll get a message and a QR code to rebook for another time.
Is there a toddler area?
A separate play area for under-4s, kept apart from the bigger inflatables. Only under-3s are allowed on the toddler-specific equipment.
Do adults have to pay?
If you're bouncing too it's £12.95, same as a child. If you're just supervising from the side it's £2.50.
Do we need special shoes or equipment?
Shoes on the inflatables at all, socks or bare feet are what everyone wears. Everything else you need is provided.
Is there parking?
Space for at least 100 vehicles on site and it's included in your ticket price.
Can we bring our own food?
Food and drink on site comes from their own caterers, burgers, hot dogs, ice cream and hot drinks among them. If you've got a baby to feed or dietary needs, they say to email ahead and they'll sort something out.
Do children need to be watched closely?
Every group needs an adult aged 16 or over responsible for them. They suggest roughly one adult to one child in the toddler area and one adult to two children elsewhere.
