This is our regular climbing wall. Staff are so helpful. Food is awesome. They’ve even got a bar now with a massive selection of craft beers. The climbs are so varied. To suit all levels The incline overhang area is now my favourite. They’ve even got a really chilled out outdoor area for when it’s nice weather.

Fantastic bouldering gym. They change the different walls frequently enough that there's always something new to be working on, but not so often that you can't have a longer term project. The cafe has amazing coffee & cake and is a great place to sit & chat whilst you're not climbing. All the staff are friendly and approachable, so the whole place has such a welcoming environment. I absolutely love it here.

Daughter really enjoyed it. Loads of areas to climb. They were super friendly running the introductory session for 6-10 year olds. We'll definitely go back - we both want to climb together.

My son has been having coaching for 4 years here & my daughter just under a year , both attending school holiday sessions too. They love their lessons , it has built their confidence , gets them active whilst having fun. I attended an intro session to supervise them and now I also climb, it’s a great activity to do with kids especially now they are teens. It’s dog friendly and Groot loves going to highball for treats and belly rubs. The cafe serves the best sausage rolls according to my son . The new toddler climbing area looks awesome I can’t wait to take my niece. The staff are always very helpful
