The date Ninja Warrior UK is opening in Swansea has been revealed - and Chris Kamara will be there to do the honours

The opening date of Swansea's Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Park has been officially confirmed - and there will be an 'unbelievable' guest on hand to welcome the first guests through the doors. The exciting new experience, made famous by the popular ITV show, will open up next to Aldi at Parc Tawe Retail park on Thursday, July 21. It will feature a mix of adrenaline-fuelled courses and inflatable runs as seen on TV.

And operator Burhill Group Limited (BGL), has confirmed that legendary football pundit and Ninja Warrior UK co-presenter Chris Kamara, will be on hand on the day, alongside a number of professional ’Ninjas’ who have previously competed on the show which is returning to ITV later this year for its sixth series.

The 24,000 square foot indoor facility boasts obstacles to climb, balance, jump and swing across, as well as the famous Warped Wall. Wannabe ninjas will need to preserve some extra energy to tackle additional inflatables complete with tunnels, battle towers and the ultimate assault course to race through. There's also the Ninja Café from which to watch and refuel. Get Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.

Chris, known as Kammy, said: “I really look forward to the opening of a new Ninja Warrior UK Adventure Park, and Swansea will be no exception. The reaction we get from guests attending is just unbelievable! It’s such a great family show that everyone now has the opportunity to come down and have a go for themselves. And, I still get to do the best bit of the job which is to watch on - it’s equally as entertaining, trust me.” Read here about how a legendary Swansea cafe is making some big changes.

BGL’s group head of marketing, Sophie Burkem added: “We’re so excited to be bringing a slice of brilliant, wholesome family entertainment to Swansea with the Ninja Warrior UK brand, which is loved by all age groups. Expect to tackle some obstacles very similar to the television show - including a chance to try and beat our very own warped wall and get some top tips from the telly ninja's! We like to think we’ve created the perfect safe place to escape to with each and every session carefully organised and managed so that parents, guardians and grandparents have no excuse! Even mini ninjas will get to have a go with special sessions catering just for under 5s on certain days of the week.”
