A giant red ball pit appeared in Manchester – proving fun has no age limit as adults get the chance to have some child-like fun.
Measuring 10m by 5m, the retro soft play favourite turned heads as passers-by couldn’t resist jumping in and playfully rolling around as they took a well-earned break from the seriousness of everyday life.
Filled with 65,000 bright red balls, TV personality Chloe Burrows was on hand to encourage the public to join in the fun, spark laughter and nostalgia.
Created by Babybel ahead of this year's Red Nose Day on 21st March, the 'Babybel-ball pit' also included several special branded balls – with an additional £1 donation made for every one that was found.
It comes after a study revealed 42 per cent of adults admit they have forgotten how to have fun, with 42 revealed as the age this stops.
A spokesperson for the cheese snack brand, which also commissioned the research, said: “As life gets busier, fun can sometimes take a backseat to responsibilities, routines and expectations.
“But having fun isn’t something we should outgrow - it’s something worth holding onto.
“This giant ball pit - with its ‘Find It. Drop It. Donate It’ donation mechanic - is a playful reminder that fun has a place at every stage of life, and a little bit of fun can do a lot of good.

00:00Donation has completely forgotten how to have fun. Seriously, tell me the last time you
00:11had fun. I'll wait.
00:14So, to celebrate comic relief and bring that fun back into your life, Babybel has created
00:22a huge boy bear.
00:23When is the last time you had fun?
00:29God knows when.
00:30It's what the kids do, the fun fair thing.
00:32That's fun.
00:33Yeah.
00:34What are your tips for having more fun and having a better time?
00:37I'd just say just not being as stressed and overthinking things that don't need to be
00:42overthinked.
00:43You can only have fun if you laugh.
00:46I love that!
00:52Do you think that having fun and being kind are linked?
00:55Of course. It's got a link. It's the best thing you can do and have fun and give back
00:59to people.
01:02If you can find one of these in the ball pit and pop it over there, then we will give a
01:06donation to Comic Relief.
01:08I'll find more than one. I'll find 4,000 and pop it there, yeah.
01:13After all that fun, I need a break and a nap.
01:21Do spiders look redder this?
