Need a break at work? Hit the ball pit

Staff at Swizzels enjoy taking a break in the adult ball pit.

Ever feel like taking a break from your desk, but a cup of tea in the staff kitchen doesn't quite cut it?

A lolly factory in the UK has found the perfect way to help staff unwind during the workday - by installing a giant adult ball pit.

Swizzels in Stockport, near Manchester, told the Manchester Evening News research showed that play activities such as a ball pit can increase creativity and reduce anxiety.

Up to 15 staff members can be in the ball pit at once.

Swizzels bosses said they also wanted staff at the factory to discover their inner child.

The pool holds 25,000 balls and 15 workers can be in it at a time. It is positioned in the staff canteen and employees can use it during their breaks.
