An Ashfield tourist attraction is gearing up for a fun-packed weekend for all the family as part of its first birthday celebrations.

Adventures, based on the shore of King’s Mill Reservoir at the Mill Waters site in Sutton, will be hosting the event over Saturday 5th and Sunday, 6th July.

The attraction — operated and managed by Nottinghamshire County Council’s outdoor environmental education service, Notts Outdoors — offers high-flying attractions.

These include:
High Trek Plus course, which features obstacles like balance bars, Indiana bridges, swinging logs, and zip lines.
Net Park, which allows younger visitors to bounce and explore their way along a unique adventure.
The 100-metre Zip Line Experience, which gives adrenaline junkies the chance to race each other.
The Drop, which allows daredevils to take a leap of faith and land safely on a giant inflatable air bag from four, six or nine metres.

Visitors to the celebration weekend will also be able to take advantage of a host of free inflatable activities, including a giant football dartboard, bungee run, and gladiator inflatables, while there will be fun competitions and giveaways.

In addition to enjoying Adventures’ attractions, families can take part in a free Wild! Activity as part of the launch of the Mill Waters Next Steps Project on the Sunday.

Adventures was launched last year as part of the county council’s commitment to improving health and wellbeing in Nottinghamshire’s communities, growing the economy, improving living standards and its tourism offer.

Pom Bhogal, the county council’s Head of Young People’s Service, said: “Adventures is a brilliant attraction with a diverse range of activities suitable for all ages and I’m sure those who have visited since it opened have unforgettable memories of their time with us.

“As well as being the perfect day out for thrillseekers, it is also great for our health and wellbeing and provides young people and families with an opportunity to experience action-packed adventures in the great outdoors.

“The birthday celebration weekend promises to be a fantastic two days, and I would encourage as many people as possible to come along and take advantage of what Adventures has to offer set against the picturesque backdrop of King’s Mill Reservoir.”

Visitors will be able to get 15% off their bookings over the celebration weekend on all activities by using the code ADV1STBDAY at the checkout.

Adventures will be open from 10.30am to 3pm on both days, and daily throughout the summer holidays.
