The home of the former Wonderland nightclub is being converted into an expanse of interconnected trampolines, complete with an airbag pit, battle beams and a slam dunk zone.

The venue, due to open on May 23, will also host a dodgeball league, fitness classes and sessions for people with disabilities.

Co-owner Harvey Jenkinson said: 'We are in the process of hiring 80 staff to start with. All of them will receive thorough training, including disability awareness training.'

His business partner, Michael Harrison, said it's also a great form of exercise: 'I see people come in full of energy but after five to 10 minutes bouncing, they realise it's quite hard.'

The company already has sites in Glasgow, Yorkshire and Maidstone with the trampoline park craze originating in the USA where there are more than 500 parks.
