An outdoor inflatable bounce park is hosting a dinosaur event and disco this bank holiday weekend. Thousands of families have flocked to Open Air Bounce since it first opened just in time for the Easter holidays.
Now it's back for the final May bank holiday weekend and promises to be even 'bigger and better'. On Saturday and Sunday, May 27 and 28, it will host a Dinosaur Invasion event.
There'll be dinosaur walkabouts, a dinosaur show, puppet shows, a dino trail and more - and it's included in the usual ticket price. On Monday, May 29, will host a disco with a live DJ and the site will stay open as usual for the rest of May half term.

Based on Umberton Farm, in Over Hulton, Bolton, the venture is the brainchild of Leighton Mills who, alongside his dad Darren, wife Sarah and step-mum Paula, wanted to put their 68 acres of land to good use.
With huge inflatables including bouncy castles, slides and obstacle courses, Open Air Bounce can be seen from the nearby M61 and is close to Salford and Wigan.
An extra circus-themed inflatable has now been added, bringing the number to 15.
"We thought we'd add a few extras to make it even better," said Leighton.
"If these events are a success then we'll probably look to repeat them in the six weeks holidays."
He said tickets have already been selling fast for this weekend.
"Since we announced the dinosaurs and disco, tickets have started to sell a hell of a lot faster," he added.
"The weather looks like it's going to be on our side this weekend so parents and grandparents will be able to sit and relax in the fresh air and the sunshine, while the kids run off some steam."
Sessions run three times a day - 10am to 12pm, 1pm to 3pm and 4pm to 6pm.
A 100ft obstacle course, two 40ft slides and a 60ft slide and bouncy castle combination are all highlights of the event and there are fairground rides too, plus a sandpit area with deckchairs around it.
For spectators, or those taking a break from the activities, there's food and drink on sale, with picnic tables to sit at.
Tickets cost £9.95 for ages one to four and £12.50 for ages five and above, including adults. Under 12 months go free and adults who aren't bouncing pay £2.50 entry. Book online.
If sessions are cancelled due to the weather, families will be given a voucher to book on for an alternative date.
