Outdoor inflatable park opening for Easter holidays with slides, obstacle courses and more

A new outdoor inflatable park is opening in time for the Easter school holidays.

Open Air Bounce will feature 14 inflatables including bouncy castles, slides and obstacle courses.

It's open to all ages, but there's a separate under fours area for those who may want to keep separate from the older children.

If they do feel brave enough for all the equipment though, they can either go it alone or parents can join in too.

The attraction, at Umberton Farm, in Over Hulton, Bolton, is a family venture from Leighton Mills, who alongside his dad Darren, wife Sarah and step-mum Paula, wanted to make use of the 68 acres of land there.

Its first run will be from this Saturday, April 1 to Sunday, April 16 and it will then open on the May Bank Holiday weekend, from April 29 to May 1; May half term from May 27 to June 4; and in the main summer holidays from July 22 until September 3.

There'll be three sessions a day, from 10am to 12pm, 1pm to 3pm and 4pm to 6pm.

"Everyone will get a two-hour slot and can make their way around all the inflatables," said Leighton.

"There are lots of indoor activity parks but when the weather's nice people want to be outdoors and there's nothing else like this in the area."

A 100ft obstacle course, two 40ft slides and a 60ft slide and bouncy castle combination are set to be the highlights of the event.

There will be fairground rides too, plus a sandpit area with deckchairs around it. There'll also be bench seating and refreshments for spectators, or those taking a break from the action.

Tickets have already been selling fast and they've had some group bookings from those wanting either parties or private use.

Sessions will run for two hours (Open Air Bounce)

"We will be sorting out a gazebo or something for parties, but at the moment we can reserve seating and people can have their balloons and what not," said Leighton. "They just need to contact us for any group offer.

"We've already had a school wanting to book it for children and a football team booking it for the end of June."

Tickets cost £9.95 for ages one to four, £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.
