Inflata Nation, a 15,000-square-foot inflatable assault course, has opened inside the former Evans Cycles unit above Everlast Gym at Ocean Plaza Leisure in Southport.
The venue is owned by Southport residents Michelle and Matt Ball and marks a return to their hometown following their pre-pandemic weekend operation at Stanley High School. It joins their sister venture, Footy Nation.
Owners on the new venue
Michelle and Matt Ball said: "We have been searching for a permanent space in Southport for a long time and this is perfect. We’ve been thrilled by the excellent response from our first visitors, with plenty of positive feedback."
They added: "We opened our first ever Inflata Nation at Trafford Park in Manchester in 2017 and have grown and grown since then. Back then, we launched the concept for the UK’s first ever inflatable park. Other operators have copied our idea since, and we have continued to grow our own brand."
Return to Ocean Plaza Leisure
The couple said: "We have wanted to open at Ocean Plaza Leisure for a long time. We originally looked at this site before Evans Cycles moved in, so we were pleased when it became available again."
The attraction is now welcoming visitors at the seaside town venue.
