More UK adults acting like kids, figures show

28% have tried trampolining

Adults are fuelling a boom in the leisure market by seeking out activities usually reserved for children's parties, UK figures show.

Fun-loving Britons are expected to spend £129 billion on leisure activities this year, a 17% increase on five years ago, with activities such as trampolining and outdoor assault courses seeing a surge in interest from adults, analysts Mintel said.

Almost three in 10 adults (28%) have tried trampolining, with a further 24% interested in trying it in the future, with interest peaking among 25 to 34-year-olds (37%), although 8% of over 55s also said they were keen on the activity.
