A POPULAR children’s entertainment park will soon reopen after being closed for essential maintenance work.

Flip Out in Poole had to suddenly close its doors to the public on July 19 earlier this year to undergo urgent work.

Now, the centre has announced it will reopen on Monday, August 12.

A spokesperson for Flip Out said: “Flip Out Poole will be opening its doors at 10am on Monday 12 August with all staff looking forward to welcoming back families from Poole and the surrounding area for them to enjoy the wide range of activities on offer at the adventure park."

Richard Beese, co-owner of We Do Play, which specialises in creating immersive leisure and hospitality experiences, one of which is Flip Out, said: "We are gutted to have been forced to close at very short notice at the start of the summer holidays due to essential maintenance work required to the area of The Dolphin Shopping Centre that Flip Out is located in.

“We are sincerely sorry for any disruption this has caused.

"We cannot wait to reopen and to welcome everyone back to our fabulous adventure park packed full of activities to keep children occupied for hours during the summer holidays."

Flip Out is situated inside The Dolphin, Poole.
