What visitors say

Rayan Littley

Great experience climbing as a family with 2 kids under 6. Welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. Options for bouldering and rope clinging, as well as a little caving challenge for the kids. A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a wet Sunday afternoon.

Such a fun time! Jake was so accommodating with my disability and made sure me and my partner had a great taster session. An interest has definitely been sparked and I'll be back. On a practical note, it was very cold as it's a converted church so I would have worn an extra layer, although I'm sure you warm up very quickly if you're working hard enough! Also, book in advance through the website as it's more expensive paying on the door. Thank you for an amazing session!!

A brilliant evening out with the scouts. The instructors here have the perfect balance of knowledge and guidance plus humour to get through to the kids. We've been here several times now, and every time is great

The place to go for a fantastic all round rock climbing gym. With great challenging routes set very regularly, a mix of terrain and route length from full lead routes down to bouldering and traverse walls and even an indoor cave! Fantastic friendly staff to which is brilliant!
