Inflata Nation Beverley Review – We recently visited Inflata Nation at the Flemingate Shopping Centre in Beverley. It was only its second day of being open. If you have not yet heard about it, it’s an ‘inflatable theme park’ – think a trampoline park but with bouncy castles, inflatable slides and ballpools. Needless to say … Read more
Hollywood Bowl Leeds – Last week we visited the Hollywood Bowl in Kirkstall Leeds. The kids love ten pin bowling and were keen to try somewhere different to our normal bowling place.
