Chris Kamara to open Ninja Warrior park in Southampton

In what is one of the first of its kind in the area, the venue will feature a mix of courses and inflatable runs inspired by the hit programme.

Bosses say that it "promises to combine fun, fitness, fire imaginations and have many discovering their inner ninjas".

It will include obstacles to climb, balance, jump and swing across, as well the famous Warped Wall.

You'll also be able to tackle the additional inflatable course complete with big red bouncy balls, tunnels, battle zone and the airbag leap.

The indoor facility will open at Antelope Retail Park, Thornhill next Thursday, May 20. Football pundit and Ninja Warrior presenter Chris Kamara will be there to welcome the first few guests through the doors from 4.30pm.

General manager Jack Sitch said: “We’re so excited to be bringing a slice of brilliant, wholesome family entertainment to Southampton with the Ninja Warrior UK brand, which is loved by all age groups. Expect to tackle some obstacles very similar to the television show - including a chance to try and beat our very own warped wall!”

Ninja Leisure UK Southampton, the venue operator, added: “We like to think we’ve created the perfect and safe place to escape to with each and every session carefully organised and managed so that parents, guardians and grandparents have no excuse! Even Mini Ninjas will get to have a go with special sessions catering just for under 5s on certain days of the week.”

General admission starts from £12.50 per person and sessions are available to book in advance now at www.ninjawarrioruk.co.uk/southampton.
