A new inflatable attraction in Ipswich has reopened after it closed suddenly on its first day. 

Inflata Nation in Cardinal Park welcomed its first customers on Saturday. 

But hours after the opening, the attraction was forced to close and customers were evacuated after one of the blowers failed.

This led to part of the arena deflating.

However, it has been confirmed that the site reopened at 10am on Sunday. 

Speaking on Saturday, a spokesman for Inflata Nation said: "While we temporarily suspended the bounce session, a strong smell of glue - which we believe was due to renovations elsewhere in the complex - became apparent.

"This meant some of the restaurants at Cardinal Park had to evacuate customers and we were left with no choice but to do the same.

"We are disappointed that the opening day of Inflata Nation Ipswich has been disrupted but the matter is out of our hands and we hope to be fully open as soon as possible."
