The venue, located in Manchester’s Trafford Palazzo, is the first Nerf Action Xperience in Europe and has officially opened with seven days a week access.

Nerf Action Xperience, an action-packed entertainment attraction, has officially opened its doors at Trafford Palazzo – making Manchester the location for its first-ever European launch.

Following a soft opening period when trailblazing Nerf fans could try out the new adrenaline-fuelled entertainment venue, the site has now fully opened seven days a week.

Situated on the ground floor at Trafford Palazzo and spanning 35,000 square feet, the Manchester indoor entertainment centre is the first in Europe. Furthermore, one of the centre’s combat zones uses the high-performance Gelfire blasters – a new product from Nerf, suitable for children aged 14+, not currently in play anywhere else. The hydrated rounds burst on impact to offer a high-level experience, eliminating the need to reload as often.

The centre features four action-packed Nerf zones, including thematic blaster battlegrounds, training activities and a Nerf sports arena. Nerf AX has partnered with Archie’s next door to provide food and beverage for parties and casual guests alike.

The venue is managed by Manchester-based entertainment specialists Rocafella Leisure, under licence from Hasbro.

Chris Hayes, Rocafella Leisure’s chief executive officer, said: “We’re over the moon with the feedback from our trailblazers, and we can’t wait to welcome many more faces through our doors following our official launch in Manchester. We had a clear vision of what we wanted to achieve, and I’m incredibly proud of our team for bringing that to fruition. The initial feedback has accelerated our plans to expand the concept into further regions throughout the UK.”
