Family friendly Flip Out preps new venue at Livingston Designer Outlet in West Lothian, Scotland
UK indoor adventure park group Flip Out reports that it will open a venue at Livingston Designer Outlet this summer, marking the brand’s second location in Scotland following a location in Glasgow. It is also the 33rd Flip Out in the UK.
The new 20,000 sq ft attraction will open in time for the school summer holidays and will feature a range of family focused activities including trampolines, Ninja Tag, inflatables, soft play, a roller rink, arcade games, party rooms and an on-site diner.
Richard Beese, co-owner of We Do Play, which operates Flip Out, says: “We are incredibly excited to officially confirm that Flip Out will be opening at Livingston Designer Outlet this summer. Following the fantastic response to our Glasgow venue, we can’t wait to bring another high energy Flip Out experience to families and thrill-seekers in Livingston."
“Livingston Designer Outlet is the perfect location for us, with its strong family appeal and position as one of Scotland’s leading retail and leisure destinations. We’re looking forward to welcoming guests through the doors very soon.”
Michelle Whitelaw, Centre Director at Livingston Designer Outlet, says: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Flip Out to Livingston Designer Outlet this summer. It’s a fantastic addition to our family and leisure offering and brings another exciting experience for our guests to enjoy alongside shopping, dining and the cinema.”
We know our visitors are looking for more than just a shopping trip, particularly during the school holidays, so bringing a brand like Flip Out to the outlet is a really exciting step for us. We can’t wait to see families enjoying the new space when it opens.”
2026 RTIH Innovation Awards
Physical retail will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.
The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.
Check out our 2025 winners here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
