This morning Mayor Julie Webb officially opened FlipOut Sandwell, a trampoline park with an adult trampoline arena, a separate area for toddlers to bounce in plus basketball areas for older kids to enjoy.

The entertainment centre, which has brought 50 jobs to the area, also includes a tumble track, pinball trampolines, gladiator beams, foam pits and high-low flip boxes.

Plans for the site were first lodged in November 2015, with approval following a month later. £1million has been invested in converting the 29,600 square foot industrial unit at Churchbridge Industrial Estate into a FlipOut franchise.

As well as activities for all ages, the centre also has a cafe and free wifi. Think Sandwell wishes FlipOut Sandwell the best of luck for their new venture in the region. To find out how we could help your business develop, visit out Business Support pages.
