Flip Out

About Flip Out

Flip Out originated in Australia in 2012 and entered the UK in 2015 under entrepreneur Richard Beese. The family-focused leisure concept has evolved from trampoline parks into indoor adventure destinations combining inflatables, climbing challenges, ninja courses, slides and other attractions. Many venues also offer party rooms and cafés, creating opportunities for group bookings and repeat family visits.

The UK operation is part of We Do Play, which has developed a portfolio of experiential leisure brands. Flip Out has expanded through franchising and company-operated venues, including large shopping-centre locations and a major Leeds park opened in 2025. The brand supports franchise partners with property sourcing, park design, equipment, health and safety, recruitment, training, marketing and insurance arrangements. Its international network extends beyond the UK, although published worldwide site totals vary.

What's expected of a franchisee

Property requirements

Flip Out typically seeks units of 15,000-35,000 sq ft in densely populated areas with a strong family catchment. Shopping centres, retail parks and industrial parks may be suitable, subject to access, ceiling heights, parking and local permissions. Venues need space for attractions, reception, safety briefings, circulation, party rooms and often a café. The operator works with property partners and provides guidance on site selection, design and fit-out.

Training and support

Flip Out provides support across property selection, park design, equipment, health and safety, insurance, recruitment, staff management and marketing. Franchisees receive operational training and assistance with preparing a centre for launch, including the systems needed to supervise attractions and deliver safe customer experiences. Ongoing guidance is available through the franchise structure. Opening can take around 16 weeks, subject to planning, leases and equipment lead times.

Operational requirements

Flip Out operators oversee attraction safety, customer admissions, staff supervision, cleaning, equipment inspections, maintenance and financial performance. Venues may also run birthday parties, group sessions, food and drink facilities and other paid activities. Franchisees must follow brand standards, applicable health and safety rules, insurance requirements and local licensing conditions. Strong scheduling, customer service and management of peak family trading periods are essential.

Experience required

Flip Out welcomes commercially capable franchise partners, including applicants without previous leisure industry experience. Operators need strong leadership, financial management and a commitment to safe, family-focused service. They must recruit and supervise teams, manage a large property and maintain operational standards. The supplied franchise profile states a minimum cash investment of £150,000, while total development costs vary substantially by venue size and specification.
