A SPORT-THEMED adventure park is set open in the town centre next Wednesday

Golden Square Shopping Centre's Stadium of Fun summer play park will return on Wednesday, July 25 at 9.30am until Sunday, September 2.

The play area in Old Market Place will feature a giant slide, tower, tunnel and rickety bridge as well as a dedicated area for under fours.

All youngsters aged 12 and under are invited to come along, with their parent or guardian, and enjoy the free Stadium of Fun adventure playground as well as a sporting treasure hunt around the centre.

Ian Cox, shopping centre director, said: “The playground looks fantastic this year and with the outdoor summer screen being such a success this year, we’re sure the theme is going to go down very well with our younger shoppers.

“Since launching the Golden Square Summer Playground in 2014 it has been a massive hit with families in the area and we hope to see them enjoying the Stadium of Fun even more.”
