The opening date of a new mini golf and high-rope course has been revealed.
Shoppers at The Valley in Evesham will soon be able to enjoy a round of 18-hole Aztec-themed adventure golf boasting bridges, water features and a crashed airplane.
An aerial high ropes course is also opening, featuring swingy steps, wobbly bridges and a 70-metre zip wire.
Work began on the project last October, with an opening date of Saturday, April 1, now confirmed.
Mark Spence, director of Aztec Golf who will manage the attraction, said: “We are passionate about all things outdoors and bringing people together to enjoy the fresh air and physical exercise.
“The project is truly unique, and we think that the experience, with the high ropes directly above the golf, will be awesome, we can’t wait to get started”.
