The Playbarn
The highest break at the Mattingley crucible is currently 8 after a black was left hanging unmissably over a pocket. Can you do better?
What does one do with a 50 x 30 foot covered barn? Turn it into the best indoor play area possible so even if the weather is unkind there is loads to do. With its 20 by 20 foot softplay full of exciting building blocks and animals, gymnastic-quality trampoline, table tennis and 12 foot antique snooker table there is something for all ages. After a hard day at the beach, how better to completely tire out the kids than an hour of bouncing or chasing around while dad goes for that elusive 147 break.
Can you do a flip over? Or will you be the oldest bouncer in town? We also have a dart board for the more mathematically minded!
What's it all about?
Children from toddlers up to teenagers can jump around to their heart's content in this large area crammed full of softplay equipment. Even the ballpit is large and guarded by a 6 foot long crocodile. Can you brave the other wild tigers and giant frogs to get to the island in the middle with its steps and slide?
This is not your usual enclosed rubber outdoor affair. Just like you remember from your schooldays, this monster is capable of serious bouncing, with all the tricks you could imagine. From toddlers to grannies, anyone is welcome to have a go but be warned, this quality trampoline comes with a health warning - use it at your own risk, stay in the middle and keep looking ahead. When in doubt, get a four year old to show you what it's all about!
OK, so everyone fancies a go on a full size table, but when it gets to the crunch, you can see why Ronnie, Hendry, White and co are such amazing players. Our recent acquisition of an antique slate bedded full size snooker table has proved so popular among our guests that even we are surprised. With the kids wearing themselves out on the other items, dad (and/or mum) can relax with a beer and game of snooker and keep an eye on the little ones simultaneously. What a result! Can you set the highest break of the year - actually it's twenty currently, but I've only been playing a couple of weeks and I'll post the best effort on this site. How's that for incentive?
Oldest spinner in town? A great game, you can be as energetic or serene as you like, when playing table tennis. Once you get back into it, you'll surprise yourself how the magic never fades!
