Plans confirmed for Inflatable Planet launch in Newcastle

The UK’s biggest collection of inflatable games and challenges is launching in the North East.

Inflatable Planet will offer a sticky wall, bungee run, gladiator joust, climbing tower, disco dome, oversized ball games and other activities when it opens its doors later this month.

Based at Walker Activity Dome in Newcastle, the company’s 16 inflatables take their inspiration from TV shows like Ninja Warrior, Total Wipeout, Fun House and Gladiators.

TV presenter Alex Winters is part of the team behind Inflatable Planet, which also created inflatable 5k run event brand Gung-Ho!

He said: “We have absolutely loved bringing huge inflatables to people all around the country, including the North East, with Gung-Ho!, but wanted to provide a more permanent option for families.

“We have spent a full year imagining, designing and producing Inflatable Planet and we are beyond thrilled that Newcastle is our premier location, the first in the UK. Geordies have proved they know how to have fun so Newcastle is the ideal spot for us to launch.”

Alex continued: “We are so excited to offer this amazing experience to young people, but also to give adults the chance to roll back the years and feel like kids again.”

Inflatable Planet will operate at Walker Activity Dome on weekends and during school holidays. It is due to launch on May 28.
