Big kids rejoice, it’s playtime! To ease the pain of worrying about mortgage payments, job security, nuclear war and where to cast your vote amidst the current political atrophy, the dreamweavers over at Ballmania have put together the biggest adult ball pit in the country and they’re bringing it to Birmingham. Cramming over 200,000 balls (as well as other inflatables and giddy games) into Birmingham’s Millennium Point Atrium, it will help you relive those glory days when your only real fear was whether or not there would be any chocolate ice cream left in the Neopolitan by the time you got to it. Think wild abandon toddler style (but try to avoid monster tantrums). On tour from its Manchester base, slots run half-hourly 10am – 10pm from Friday to Sunday and are likely to book-up fast.

Fri 5 May – Sun 7 May, 10am – 10pm, Curzon St, Birmingham B4 7XG. £8pp www.ballmaniamcr.co.uk
