<p>One for slightly older kids and young teens, this inflatable assault course floating on the reservoir invites you to jump, bounce, slide and climb over obstacles in a bid to beat your opponents. Fans of ITV’s Total Wipeout show will love this much safer version but get to sample the experience all the same. Be prepare to get wet and wild but wetsuits and life jackets are provided. Safety is a priority and all participants will have to attend a mandatory 15 minute briefing at the beginning. For those not feeling competitive, there are cycle routes and boating options too.&nbsp;</p>

There is selected shade and parasols plus deck chairs for those simply spectating as well as ice-creams available. You’ll need to pre-book tickets but included in the price is a visit to the farm which also has a toddler village, kids outdoor assault course, bumper boat rides, and enchanted wood and much more!</p>
