A massive inflatable obstacle course will open for two weekends only, at an award-winning Essex park this month.

The Beast is a brand new attraction at Marsh Farm Animal Adventure Park, in South Woodham Ferrers.

Thrill-seekers young and old can run, jump and scramble their way through more than 160 metres of bouncy fun, immersed in a "kaleidoscope of colour"

Lucy Staab, General Manager at Marsh Farm, said: "The Beast will catapult your family day out to the next level.

"Come and tackle the ultimate assault course - an inflatable behemoth like you've never seen before.

"It's unbeatable fun for both grown ups and little ones."
