Can you defeat the Beast?

Hi ,

There's less than a month to go until The Beast returns to Betteshanger Park in Deal, and it will be more challenging than ever before!

Belgian based HOLD MY SHOES are bringing the world's longest inflatable obstacle course to Betteshanger on the 26th May and tickets are selling fast. Last year, the Beast's arrival led to one of the busiest days of the year.

Many thanks,

Bigger, Badder and at Betteshanger!

THE BEAST IS BACK!

 

DEAL, KENT, 27th APRIL 2018: The Beast is out for revenge. After last year's enormous success, the world's largest inflatable obstacle course will be returning to Betteshanger Park, Deal, on 26th May. Are you ready to take on The Beast?!

The 384m inflatable course, the creation of Belgian based HOLD MY SHOES, is a world-first with it being 100 metres longer than previous years installations, as well as holding a world record for the longest inflatable course ever!

The ultimate bouncy castle experience for adults first visited Betteshanger in 2017, and was such a success HOLD MY SHOES has since taken it on a European tour, challenging visitors at Alexandra Palace, the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham and Dublin's National Basketball Arena.

Keith Lee, Head of Programme at Betteshanger Park said: "We had people from far and wide looking to take on The Beast last year, making it one of our most popular events. Why wouldn't we want it back, especially with the HOLD MY SHOES guys making it even bigger! Come along and see if you can conquer it!"

Johan Bommerez, Project Manager at HOLD MY SHOES, commented: "We're excited to be working with Betteshanger again after the enormous success of The Beast last year. We're also proud to be presenting this setup to the public, offering an even bigger and more awesome challenge to all visitors.

"HOLD MY SHOES promotes an active and healthy lifestyle, and what better way of doing this than by providing endless fun on the World's Biggest Inflatable obstacle course in such a beautiful surrounding?"

Keith Lee continued: "This is set to be a sell-out, so get your tickets sooner rather than later. Don't miss your to take this world-first!"

Tickets are on general sale now.

The Beast will be suitable for everyone aged 10 and over.
