An extra 1,000 tickets for the world’s largest inflatable obstacle course will be released on Thursday.

The ultimate bouncy castle experience for adults, known as The Beast, will be making its UK debut at Betteshanger Park in Deal from Friday, May 26 to Monday, May 29 2017.

Since tickets went on sale about two weeks ago, 7,000 have already been snapped up with weekend and party night tickets selling out.

The huge demand for tickets has prompted the Park to add five more afternoon sessions to its programme so as many people as possible can experience the popular 272m inflatable obstacle course.

The additional ticket release is for half an hour sessions starting from 3.15pm on Friday, May 26.

Tracy Brunt, Betteshanger Park’s events manager, said: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the huge response to The Beast at Betteshanger.

“We want to provide access to as many people as possible during The Beast’s four-day stay at the Park and we know there are disappointed people who missed out on tickets.

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to schedule some additional sessions for Friday afternoon. We anticipate these extra tickets going fast so we suggest people get in quickly!”

The additional tickets go on general sale today (Thursday) at 9.30am and can be booked via betteshanger-park.co.uk/beast

Tickets are currently available for the corporate and fundraising day on Friday, May 26.
