The gate opens and about 100 children and a handful of adults fan out and start bouncing as if their tops were made out of rubber and their bottoms were made out of springs. Every day, the scene plays out up and down the country, from Inverness to Cornwall.
Three years ago, trampolining was confined to gymnastics clubs, schools and back gardens. Today, there are around 120 trampoline parks in the UK, which provide people with about 250,000 hours of exercise per week. That’s a lot of cardio, countless calories burned, many legs strengthened and, encouragingly for most jumpers, it even feels a little like exercise.
If you are - nominally at least - a grown up and have never released your inner Simone Biles by landing a forward somersault, the local trampoline park is the only game in town. There is a risk of injury but the adrenaline rush is powerful. Bounce forward, tuck, spin, stick your legs out, land on the airbag, throw your arms out then take a second to imagine the applause. This is clearly an activity that is not just for children. It is for childish adults too.
