During the winter months it's tempting to stay snuggled up on the couch, watching a film. But if you're looking for a way to blow off the cobwebs, there's no better way than taking on The Beast.

The Beast is the world's biggest inflatable obstacle course and it will be setting up in the National Basketball Arena from December 14th to 17th. At over 225m long, it boasts a phenomenal 32 obstacles for you to work your way over and under.

While the obstacle course is the main attraction, it isn't the only thing happening in the arena over the weekend. DJs, street food, craft beer and whiskey tasting as well as a Christmas market, karaoke room, a human foosball game and inflatable photo booth will all be set up. If you and your friends are looking for an alternative to 12 pubs of Christmas, it sounds like a great bet.
