World’s largest inflatable assault course The Beast returning to Betteshanger Country Park in August

A huge obstacle course, believed to be one of the world’s largest, is coming back to Kent this summer.

The Beast, a four-part course with rope swings, climbing walls and slides, will be at Betteshanger Country Park next month, over the bank holiday weekend.

While The Beast has been at the park before, this year the 25-metre course will also come with a brand new mini bounce zone for kids.

Those taking part can run and bounce their way around the obstacles including inflatable walls, balls and rings.

The course will be at Betteshanger for three days over the bank holiday weekend, with sessions starting on Saturday, August 24, and ending on Monday, August 26.

Bounce sessions last 30 minutes and a ticket allows you to run the course as many times as you can within your allocated slot.

'Speed sessions' are also available for those who want to race through the course to try and beat the record time, while 'fun sessions' are for anyone wishing to have a more leisurely bounce.

Tickets cost £15 for adults £8 for children but some early bird tickets are available at a discounted price.
