A beloved children's soft play centre that closed unexpectedly last month will reopen under new owners with a new name.

Hulabaloos in Wymondham shut its doors suddenly in late December after its parent company, Alpha Leisure Services, went into liquidation. 

But the venue is preparing to reopen under enthusiastic new managers and will undergo a "captivating transformation" ahead of its grand unveiling as The Jolly Junction.

Ali and Adrian Pettitt will helm the new business, claiming their wealth of experience in children's care and education will see it continue to be a vibrant space for children to learn and play.

Owners Ali and Adrian said: "It will be a place where laughter and learning come together.

"To delight young taste buds and promote healthy choices, The Jolly Junction will introduce a tasty and healthy new menu.

"We understand the importance of providing nutritious food choices for children and our new menu reflects our commitment to promoting healthy habits in an enjoyable way."

In a show of goodwill, the new team will honour party bookings that were cancelled with the sudden closure of Hulabaloos.
