Bear Grylls Adventure to reopen in July

Based at the NEC, in Birmingham, The Bear Grylls Adventure, which is owned by Merlin Entertainments, who run Alton Towers, will open on Saturday, July 4.

The majority of the activity centre's indoor and outdoor activities will reopen to visitors – including high ropes, iFLY indoor skydiving, the Royal Marines-inspired assault course and the cage snorkel experience.

Guests must pre-book their visit due to reduced capacities on each activity to comply with Government social distancing guidelines. New safety measures will also be in place such as contactless temperature checking before entry, new routes around the attraction, new queuing formats, staff wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) and enhanced cleaning.

Hand sanitiser stations will be located throughout the attraction, screens will be installed at desk and till areas, and all visitors will be required to bring a suitable mask or face covering with them as they will be required to wear them to participate in a number of activities.

Marc Bell, general manager, said: "We are thrilled to be reopening from July 4, and the team have done an amazing job while we have been closed to ensure the new safety measures are in place across the attraction.

"We are confident that we can offer the amazing adventure experience that we know our visitors love, in line with best practice advice on social distancing and hygiene.

"We can’t wait to reopen our doors and begin making memories with our guests again."
