The opening date for a children's indoor fun park has been officially confirmed after months of delays. 

Inflata Nation first submitted plans to open a branch in Suffolk in March 2022, which suggested converting the former Unit 17 nightclub in Cardinal Park into an indoor fun park. 

The park was originally going to open in October 2023, but the date was pushed back for "something special", the owners of Inflata Nation said.

It had been revealed that Coronation Street star Kym Marsh was set to make a guest star appearance at the planned opening event on Tuesday, December 19.

The grand opening was delayed once more due to issues transporting inflatables to the site. 

The third time is the charm for this company and Inflata Nation has confirmed that it will be opening to the public on Saturday, January 6.

Co-founders of Inflata Nation, Matt and Michelle Ball, said: "We are absolutely delighted to be able to finally welcome people into our latest site in Ipswich.

"Months of hard work have gone into bringing our latest attraction to life, with some supply issues dictating that we weren't able to launch before Christmas.

"But what better way to beat the January Blues than by jumping onto our state-of-the-art inflatables and putting a huge smile on your face?" 

Inflata Nation family fun centre features a range of slides, games, obstacle courses and has more than 400,000 balls in the ball pit.

A spokesman for Inflata Nation said that a VIP launch event will still take place later in the month, but it is yet to be confirmed whether Kym Marsh will be there.

One-hour sessions will cost £6.99 for under-fours and £13.99 for everyone else.
