Country's only Indoor Zip-line Comes to Westfield
Offering young people a free opportunity to fly high across the centre
Take the kids to Future Forest within Westfield over the next week, and they could experience a unique bird’s eye view of the shopping centre from the only indoor zip-line in the UK.
The free to use zip-line offers young people the opportunity to zoom through the air after leaping out of a 5.3-metre tree house.
Future Forest has already been experienced by more than 13,000 visitors at Westfield’s Stratford City centre before arriving in Shepherd's Bush.
The immersive experience explores the relationship between humans and nature through fun and adventurous activities, cementing Westfield as the destination for all the family.
The Adventure Zip-Line is complemented by Bompas & Parr's immersive Fruit Cloud - a walk-in breathable aromatic cloud with regularly changing flavours - as well as a mini exhibition showcasing plants that create electricity, the magic of spider silk, and a historic tree circus alongside artefacts, artworks and anecdotes about forests and nature.
Everything is designed to inspired guests to consider the environment and the outdoors, as well as relaxation, health and wellbeing.
With fun activities aimed at all ages, the experience highlights the importance of the future of the forest and the role it will increasingly play in our lives.
After visiting Future Forest, it’s hoped that city-dwellers will leave with a deeper understanding of the relevance of the natural world even amid the frenzy of the concrete jungle.
Director of Bompas & Parr, Harry Parr, said: "The vision for Future Forest is to engage young people in the future of our urban environment and we really believe that the best way to do that is through a fun, physical challenge that disconnects them from their screen-based lives, gets the adrenaline pumping and makes for something that they’ll remember. That’s the best way to deliver the message!"
Londoners looking to escape the daily grind, gain mindfulness and get closer to nature are invited to visit Future Forest within The Atrium at Westfield London until Monday 28 August from noon till 8pm daily.
To explore the Future Forest, sign up is not required, and access is on a first come, first served basis. The Adventure Zip-Line is suitable for those over 8 years old and a minimum of 120cm tall – full requirements below.
