Looking for an alternative activity to do with your friends this weekend?
Following a number of sold-out dates in the city last year, the world's biggest obstacle course is returning to Birmingham as part of another UK tour.
Designed especially for adults, the big, bouncy course known as The Monster, is taking over the NEC for five days from August 16 to 20.
And this year promises to be more monstrous than ever before with an incredible new line-up of games and events being held.

Here's everything to expect from The Monster
As well as taking on the huge obstacle course, ticket holders will also be able to get involved with boozy bingo, drag queen karaoke and mega beer pong.
You'll also be able to dive into a giant unicorn and flamingo ball pit, and experience the Glitter Wheel of Wonder - sounds like a great day out if you ask us.
Let's not forget the main event, too. At 300 metres long, The Monster is filled with over 40 challenging obstacles to complete, including the 18-metre Mega Slide and brand new additions the Exterminator and the terrifying House of Hell.
And once you've successfully tamed The Monster, you're probably going to have worked up a bit of an appetite. But fear not, you can sink your teeth into a delicious range of food and drinks from some of Birmingham's best independent street food vendors.
Thirsty? A host of bars and pop-up drink stands will also be serving craft beers, cocktails and bubbles to help keep you hydrated ahead of an afternoon/evening of fun.
Even little monsters can take on the course
For the first time ever, this year The Monster will be hosting a two-day family special on August 19 -20, with even more new elements designed especially for little monsters.
So if you're looking for plans during the end of the summer holidays, then this just might tick all the boxes.
To make the event even more special, The Monster has teamed up with NERF for its 50th anniversary to launch the biggest NERF experience taking place on the Family Days only.
The experience will include:
The Ultimate NERF battle, where teams of four to six can take on The Monster with the latest NERF blasters.
A custom-built Targeting Arena featuring interactive challenges, trick shots, special effects and branded action photo opportunities.
There will also be a custom-built inflatable Sports Arena, where families can play with the latest NERF Sports products including NEFT footballs and Vortex Howlers, as well as taking on a range of interactive challenges with prizes up for grabs.
