To minimise our negative impact on the environment, we try to encourage our visitors to use more sustainable modes of transport to reach us.

To do this, we offer

• Secure cycle parking
• Car-sharing parking slots
• Free cup of tea to anyone who cycles to the centre, or uses public transport

Public transport routes- see "where we are" page for details.

We run childrens clubs for all ages and levels of ability. Depending on group size, your child can join a group most suited to their age and level of confidence. All sessions are supervised, and the emphasis is on fun and progression.

Those who wish can also enrol on the National Indoor Climbing Wall Awards scheme- registration and logbooks are available at the centre. This is entirely optional.

Categories are: Age 6-10;  Age 11+; advanced boulderers (any age, some experience)

Childrens Clubs run on:

Saturday 9.30-11

Sunday 9.30- 11

Tuesday 4.30-6 term time only.

Thursday 4.30-6 term time only.

If you have a group of friends who would like a bespoke session, please contact us to arrange a time.

 

We also run courses for children through the holidays, so if your children are normally bored during half-term, bring them along to have fun and gain healthy exercise.

For those who are new to climbing, or returning after a period away from climbing, we offer an induction course.

We want our visitors to be able to operate safely and would encourage anyone who is uncertain about any aspect of wall climbing wall usage to sign up for one of the induction sessions.

Each session will last 1 -1.5 hours, and will look at safe practice in bouldering and roped climbing: warm-ups, spotting, safe descent, belaying and how to get the most from your visit.

Contact us to book a session at a time to suit you, or turn up to one of the regular induction sessions:

Tuesday 4pm, 6pm

Wednesday 4pm, 6pm, 8pm

Saturday  11am, 2pm

Sunday 11am
