The Forum

The Forum is a multi-activity entertainment complex situated on the Esplanade in Bridlington, offering a broad mix of leisure options under one roof. With opening times running seven days a week from 9.30am to 10pm, it caters to families looking for a flexible day out, whether they're arriving mid-morning or heading in after lunch.

Among the attractions on offer is Bounce Park, a dedicated trampolining and bouncing area that tends to be the main draw for younger visitors and older children alike. Party bookings and group bookings are both catered for, making it a practical option for birthday celebrations or visits with a larger group of children. The Bounce Park can be booked in advance, which is worth doing during busier periods, particularly in the school holidays when demand along the Yorkshire coast is at its highest.

Beyond the bouncing, the complex includes a bowling alley, which operates from 11am daily, along with an amusements area and a cinema showing current releases. This variety means the venue can accommodate mixed-age groups where not everyone wants the same activity — teenagers and parents who prefer something lower-key have plenty to keep them occupied while younger ones bounce.

There is also an on-site food offering through The Lodge, which serves grilled chicken, burgers and similar casual dining options. Having food available on site is a genuine convenience for families spending a few hours there rather than a quick visit.

A good choice for: families with children of varying ages visiting the Yorkshire coast who want a flexible indoor day out with multiple activities in one location.
