An Upside Down House is coming to the Trafford Centre and it looks awesome

As attractions go, they don't get more eye-catching than an Upside Down House.

But that's exactly what's coming to the Trafford Centre this month, promising a fun family outing.

The topsy-turvy attraction arrives outside The Orient this Saturday, October 5 - just in time for children to visit over October half term.

It'll have a spooky Halloween makeover from October 20 and later be given a festive look as Christmas approaches.

The inverted wooden structure, which promises visitors 'a zero-gravity illusion experience in a safe and family friendly environment' is the third of its kind in the country.

Others have opened in Brighton and Essex and been a huge hit with intrigued guests.

Described as 'a hybrid of street art and experiential entertainment', it bills itself as 'the UK's first inverted photo experience'.

The house is arranged over two storeys and fully furnished with a kitchen, bathroom, living room art and bedroom.

Visitors are invited to walk on the ceiling and 'lose themselves going downstairs to go up and letting their imagination run riot as they capture the perfect photo'.

Tom Dirse, CEO of Upside Down House UK, said: “We are really excited to open our latest house in the Trafford Centre and get the north of England flipped upside down.

"It’s an experience like no other; everyone should walk on the ceiling at least once in their life. We’re really looking forward to seeing how inventive people can be while capturing their visit.”

The home's decor will change with the seasons - with an interior designer transforming it from a scary haunted Halloween house to a snowy and festive abode at Christmas time, complete with reindeers and colourful lights.

There's no limit to the amount of time you can spend inside, but organisers say it usually takes around 20 minutes, depending on how many pictures you want to take.

If you buy tickets on the day it'll cost £5 per person to enter (under threes go free). Advance tickets can be booked online for £3.50 weekdays or £4.50 weekends.

The house will be open from 10am daily and close at 8pm weekdays and 9pm at weekends. It will be staying at the Trafford Centre for the next year at least.
