Bolton Open Air Bounce sets date for opening of new bounce park

Open Air Bounce will open at Umberton Farm in Over Hulton on April 1.

Attractions include rides, bouncy castles and an obstacle course by the time the park opens, and owner Leighton Mills is looking forward to welcoming families.

He said: “I cannot wait for it to open, it’s been tough but it’s good to now see it all come together and take shape.

“I cannot wait to open the doors, and we’re not worried about the weather because if a session needs to be postponed then the families will be able to re-book whenever they choose.”

With over 14 different inflatables, the park will run in school holiday periods and is completely outside.

Leighton said: “We’ve had some bookings already and have even had a primary school get in touch with us about coming here for their end of year trip with Key Stage One.

“It’s been busy, especially with our other business as well, but we are excited to see people here having fun because that’s what we are doing to give back to the community.”

Leighton wanted to provide a fun space for children and young people up to 16 as he realised that there was nothing for them to do in Bolton.

He said: “For a family with young children, there is nothing to do in Bolton.

“There are indoor things but not much outdoors so it was key to try and do something different.

“That is what we have done to create an outdoor inflatable world where kids can have fun in a secure environment.”

The first dates for Open Air Bounce will run from April 1-16, then the park will reopen on April 29-May 1 for the bank holiday, May 27 to June 4, and July 22 to September 3.

Prices for the inflatable park is £9.95 for toddlers, and £12.50 for children and young people from five-to-17 and adults.

Adults accompanying children but not going on the equipment can pay just £2.50 for admission.
