UK's biggest touring inflatable obstacle course complete with labyrinth of challenges is coming to Kent

Families should get ready for an action-packed three-day weekend coming to Kent as Action Arena rolls into town. It is the UK's biggest touring inflatable course.

It's going to be three days of high energy fun for all the family at Tonbridge Racecourse sports ground. There will be two courses, the Mini Action Arena for the little ones and XXL Action Arena for taller thrill seekers.

Whether you're bouncing through the mini course or conquering the challenges of the XXL course, it's going to be a day out to burn off your energy. It is coming to Tonbridge on bank holiday August 24 to 26, from 10am to 6.30pm.

And it is not just children who can let off all that energy on an inflatable challenge, so can the grown-ups. And at the sports ground, there's plenty of space to have a picnic, run around and enjoy the other facilities.

More about the courses

Mini Action Arena

This is designed for children under 1.2m, or aged between two and seven. This compact 160ft inflatable obstacle course has four zones. There are daring obstacles and exciting challenges, says Action Arena.

Children will have an hour to enjoy the course. But parents and carers are not allowed on the course, although there is ample space for parents to watch, walk around the perimeter and supervise children on the course. Tickets cost £8.95 and the hour sessions run all day from 10am. More information can be found here

Action Arena XXL

This is for people taller than 1.2m. It is 600ft long with inflatable obstacles through a "labyrinth" of challenges. Again, you will have an hour to enjoy the course.

"From navigating towering inflatable structures to dodging and weaving through twisting passages, there's no shortage of adrenaline-fueled thrills to be found," says Action Arena.

Tickets cost £13.50 and again, hourly slots all day from 10am. As with the mini above, wear socks to go on the course.
