Hamilton nightclub’s ‘giant ball pit’ ridiculed by disappointed Easter revellers

ROC Nightclub in the Lanarkshire town advertised the attraction for its special Easter Sunday event but some partygoers were left feeling a bit deflated

PARTY-GOERS in Hamilton were given an Easter Sunday to forget when a "giant ball pit" turned out to be a fun-size version buried in the corner of a nightclub.

ROC Nightclub posted an advert for their special Circus event on Facebook, which also promised cheap booze, a popcorn machine and balloon drop giveaway.

But punters who showed up to dance around in the pit may have felt short-changed when they saw the main attraction.

The snap, posted online by Twitter user Cam, was simply captioned: "Giant ball pit."

And it has received more than 8,100 retweets and more than 48,000 likes on Twitter.
