A brand new wacky family attraction is opening this week at a popular shopping centre.

The Upside Down House is opening at Lakeside Shopping Centre.

The extraordinary two-storey inverted home offers a zero-gravity style experience as it sits on its head in the amphitheatre just outside House of Fraser.

The distinctive pink house has a unique, fully furnished interior with real life-sized furniture including two bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and office all upside down.

Customers can walk on the ceiling, go up and downstairs, do handstands on the sofa without taking their feet off the floor and will never get bored as the furniture changes to match each season.

Ben Leeson, marketing manager at Lakeside said: “We are very excited for the arrival of Upside Down House UK and know that our guests will be amazed by everything it has to offer.

“As Essex’s biggest shopping centre, it is necessary that we offer a compelling experience for our customers and the addition of the Upside Down House alongside our leisure development, allows us to do this.”

Tom Dirse, chief executive at Upside Down House UK, said: “intu Lakeside is the perfect location for us as it offers a huge catchment, busy footfall and a family-friendly focus. The Upside Down House UK is an extremely entertaining place to visit where children and adults alike can observe seemingly familiar surroundings from a totally new perspective.”
