What visitors say
First time visiting and we highly recommend Durham climbing centre, the staff are so friendly and so helpful. So many options for climbing and can spend hours challenging yourself from easy to difficult climbs. We will definitely be back

First time climbing at this centre and it was amazing. would definitely come back if I lived in the area, I read some of the other reviews saying some climbs are boring and that the centre is not that big, I’ve been to over 100 centres all over the world and this centre has everything you need. Warm-up and cafe area, insane amount of wall angles which make for diverse and exciting movement, small but well-equipped training area, modern and old-school style of setting, climbs cater to all body sizes and levels and you actually have to use you brain to solve the problem not just raw-pulling, these guys know what they’re setting

Second time at this centre and it's brilliant. The staff are really friendly, helpful and welcoming. It's good value and there's a range of lessons for both kids and adults available. The climbing is intimate and it's not the biggest of centres, but the routes are regularly changed and there's a good range of both easier and top level routes to try. There's a beginner area with some easier problems which is also good for a warm up. My daughter is 6 and there's plenty of opportunity for her to practice and learn on. Snacks and drinks available too and they have a solid cheese and ham toastie with sweet chilli which I have to say is top notch .. and I'm a toastie expert! Ha. EDIT Haven't been to this centre in a couple of months and realised this weekend that concession price for under 7s is £4 but now my daughter has turned 7 this jumps to £9 plus shoe hire if needed. Relatively expensive for junior climbers looking to climb frequently. Would be good if they looked at reducing this price or offering a junior membership option.

Excellent, friendly staff, great coaches who really interact with the children and make it a pleasant experience. Great food, good drinks and well worth a visit. A very clean and tidy set up.
