Mulligans Newcastle Launches First Ever ‘No Phone Zone’ for Families
During February half-term week (16th-22nd February), Mulligans will become the first leisure operator to launch a ‘No Phone Zone’ to encourage families to switch their phones to airplane mode and spend screen-free time together, making real memories rather than digital ones.
Adventure Leisure, the operators behind 13 Mulligans and BUNKERS Crazy Golf and Games venues, 4 Ninja Warrior UK venues and 1 Total Ninja site, has introduced the ‘No Phone Zone’ across all their sites, becoming the first operators to encourage families to swap screen time for game time.
The decision to ban mobile phones in their venues comes following The Princess of Wales’ warning1 that screen time plays a troubling role in the current ‘epidemic of disconnection’ and disrupts giving another person undivided attention, which she dubbed the ‘most precious gift’.
Guests with phones will be asked to put their devices on airplane mode when they arrive to ensure there aren’t any distractions during family tournaments, whether it’s quickly glancing at emails, playing a round of a mobile game or flicking through stories on social media. Watch out for Mulligans team members on ‘Phone Patrol’, who will be making sure guests are living in the moment, device-free.
Children and parents alike will reap the benefits of the ‘No Phone Zone’ during the February half-term and will have uninterrupted time to create lasting memories.
With two crazy golf courses, electro-darts, brand-new Electro-Shuffle, pool, ping pong, and arcade games available to play, as well as a mouthwatering selection of bites and refreshing drinks on the menu, Mulligans Newcastle is the easy solution for quality time and entertainment that the whole family will love. Half-term is sorted at Mulligans Newcastle.
Families who visit during the February half-term will unlock an exclusive 50% off discount to use for another visit in March.
Adventure Leisure’s Chief Operating Officer, Stephen Brown, said, “We know how important spending quality time with your family is, so we wanted to create the best environment where our guests can make their memories. We’re really proud to be the first leisure operator to introduce an official ‘No Phone Zone’, and we hope to see others following suit in the future.”
