The Upside Down House in Bournemouth, UK

We visited the Upside Down House in Bournemouth today, and what a funny experience it was! Even walking up to it was odd.

The chap on the door told us we might feel a bit disorientated. As soon as you enter the house it feels weird, but in a funny way.

The house is all open plan and the decor is brightly coloured. Look up and you will find all the furniture on the ceiling.

Upstairs in one of the bedrooms, it was a great photo opportunity to get your friend to do something silly!

Of course, I had to get in on the act. I seem to have drawn the short straw putting my head down the loo. (Photo taken by my friend).

The organiser's wanted to stay another 2 years, but in their wisdom, Bournemouth Council turned the application down stating the house is so big it blocks the view of the Pavilion, which isn't the most attractive of buildings.

Visiting today, I didn't see what the issue was really. It's a shame, as it is quite a popular tourist attraction and brings people into the town. At least it is here until the end of the year.

I'm pleased I managed to see it as it was fun and a good laugh. Well worth the £4.95 entrance fee, although between 11 am - 12 noon it was half price so even better!

I have seen a few of these upside house things around now. There was one near Lakeside Thurrock that some of my friends went to recently. They are quite fun for some crazy looking photos and selfies.

Looks like fun!

!LOL

My grief counsellor died recently.
He was so good I didn't care.

OMG!!! mind boggling, I could have fainted walking in that house, it is so funny!!
Nice pictures 👍 and thanks for sharing such a funny attraction 😄

My pleasure. It certainly was different.

They are going to get rid of it? That doesn't seem so smart? Hmmmm 🤓

It wasn’t going to be a permanent fixture, but at least it's still there for a bit longer.

What are they going to do with it? Move it somewhere else?

Yes, it travels around. I think they have them in other countries as well.

Oh good. I was hoping they weren't going to take it apart or something dumb :)

Even we're not that stupid .... oh wait. 😁

Haha! Never underestimate people and their capacity for doing the dumbest thing possible 😀 😮

Bonkers. I can only ask 'why'?

It's just a fun tourist attraction. They have to get people into the towns some how. A lot of shops are closing around the country, so this has been a novel way of getting people to spend some money.

I heard things are tough there. Well we will be over next year so things will look up 🤣🤣🤣 He he. Looking forward to it.

Yeh, come and spend your money lol.

Haha, what a brilliant article idea. Looks like a fun experience too.

This place is in Bournemouth?
I should tell my friend who just moved there, he would love this 💞

You're not in it for long, but it's good fun!
