The markets make for a great family day out where you can grab a bargain from the car boot sale while the kids enjoy the jumping castle.

Youngsters can reach new heights on Flymotion’s Bungy Trampoline, walk on water with the Bubbles of Fun or step inside a ‘Winter Wonderland’ with Flymotion’s Giant Inflatable Snowglobe. Toddlers as young as 2 can strap themselves into the bungy and launch themselves into the sky, while the more faint-hearted can hang out in the new Action Zone with games, activities and bouncy fun.
