From Saturday 18th July to Monday 31st August, the Kent shopping and leisure destination will transform the surrounding area into a giant playground with 300 metres of inflatable madness. Packed with more than 40 obstacles including the 18-metre Mayhem Mega Slide, the chaotic Chaos Climb, and the infamous Tumble Tunnel, The Monster promises unforgettable fun for all ages*.

Following sold-out tours across Canada, USA, Mexico and Abu Dhabi, and sell-out shows at venues including London’s Alexandra Palace, Braintree Village in Essex, and Birmingham’s NEC, this will be the first time The Monster has appeared in Kent – and is set to be one of the biggest events Bluewater has ever hosted.

The Monster will open from 10am – 9pm every day with guests able to complete as many laps of The Monster as they’d like during their 60 minutes. The daily sessions are:

· From 10am-11am, Quiet Sessions offering all the bounce and none of the noise. These lower-capacity sessions are capped at 100 guests and run without music or announcements. Ideal for guests who prefer a more relaxed environment.

· Between 11am – 7pm every day, All Ages Sessions, showcasing party music, lighting effects and videoclips on the giant screen, plus festival-style food & drinks, and entertainment zones open all day.

· From 7pm – 9pm, The Monster will be Adults Only**, with DJs taking to the stage Thursdays to Sundays for interactive karaoke, plus a full bar, late-night food and festival vibes.

· Selected Saturday sessions will see The Monster’s surrounding arena reimagined as a high‑energy foam party, with a dedicated 7 – 8pm Adults Only slot combining DJs, karaoke and immersive foam effects for a standout festival experience.

For those taking part in the Monster action or just spectating, the event arena will be a hub of activity, with giant Jenga and Connect 4, a chalk graffiti board, Monster Ping-Pong, food and drink vendors including a fully stocked bar, and festival atmosphere. The event arena will offer guests plenty of reasons to enjoy a full day out at The Monster this summer.
