CHILDREN and adults were jumping for joy when a giant bungee machine arrived in Bromley town centre.

The oversized baby bouncer was set up in the town by Bang Up For It, who take the ride all over the country to entertain people in high streets and at parties.

Owners Ollie Pendered and Robert Nicholls, who grew up in Kent and south east London, said the ride, which involves trampolines, bungee ropes and a giant metal superstructure, was a great success with shoppers.

Thirty-five-year-old Robert said: "It was a fantastic day. People were queuing up for up to an hour to get a go. They were a great crowd. If anyone missed out, we'll be back in Bromley over the half term too."
