Inflatable fun park in Peterborough that closed suddenly is to undergo rebranding

The Inflata Nation, at Peterborough One Retail Park, in Eye Road, closed unexpectedly due to unforeseen circumstances and with no reasons given for the decision to shut.

But now director Sindhyar Talpur has revealed that the venue is undergoing a change of branding and will reopen in time for the summer holidays.

He said: “We have rebranded as Inflatables World.

"This inflatable arena in Peterborough Blue Diamond Park has been and remains a mainstay for kids of all ages to come and have fun

"We are going to have lots of offers on socials in time for summer holidays.”

He said that customers would be able to follow the new look venue on its various social media channels

The inflatable fun park, which has been open for about seven years, closed suddenly on Sunday (July 12).

Matt and Michelle Ball, co-founders of Inflata Nation, said on July 13: “Unfortunately, Inflata Nation Peterborough has been forced to close due to unforeseen circumstances.

"We appreciate this will come as a disappointment to our customers, but we are doing all we can to reopen as soon as possible.

"Our team will be reaching out to anyone with existing party or bounce session bookings, but if you have any concerns or queries, please contact 0161 710 2360.

The couple added: “We know that Inflata Nation Peterborough is a much-loved and valued location for families in the area and we aim to fully reopen as soon as we can.”

The 14,500 square feet venue features a huge ball pool, obstacle races, huge bouncy balls and giant drop slides plus a gladiator battle podium and a special ‘Inflata Bubbles’ section.

In 2020, the facility was forced to close during the Covid-19 pandemic and put at risk a £700,000 by the then franchise owners, Preeti and Bikram Sohal who launched a crowdfunding page with a target of £30,000 to “help ensure essential bills are paid whilst being closed”.
