First session of the day during the holidays.
Our Family Sessions are aimed at those with younger children or those whose children may find standard sessions too busy or a long time to concentrate. If you have a child with SEND you may wish to try one of our family Sessions.
These shorter sessions begin with a safety briefing followed by 30 minutes of climbing; we reduce the number of climbers and the music to ensure the arena is a bit quieter making this session popular with children with SEND. Unlike standard sessions (where the minimum age limit is 4 years), we also welcome toddlers aged 2 & 3 to climb.
You can book your session through our online system – remember, you only need to book for those who are climbing, parents and carers are allowed into our arena on a 1:1 basis to support their climbers.
Toddlers aged 2 & 3 must have a non-climbing (free of charge) adult with them on a 1:1 basis. However, any adults wishing to climb with their children will need to book in as normal.

Our Rhyme ‘n Climb classes offer a safe, supportive and nurturing environment, where parents, carers and children can enjoy our climbing arena.
Each 4-week block is planned around a theme and linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage framework.
Sessions begin with stories and songs, before harnessing up and climbing in our climbing arena. After their climb, children are provided with a drink and snack to refuel before completing a craft activity.
In our Rhyme ‘n Climb Sessions, children wear our specific full body harnesses designed for toddlers, which have parent support ropes on to help guide them down the wall safely, for this reason we have a 1:1 ratio in our Rhyme ‘n Climb Sessions. Unless your child demonstrates independent descending skills and progresses from a toddler harness, they will not be able to reach the top of our walls.
Some of our walls are easier for smaller children to climb than others, just as some children are more confident to climb than others. If your 2-year-old is unsteady on their feet you may wish to wait a little longer before joining one of our Rhyme ‘n Climb classes.
£50.00 for 5 weeks
FOR CHILDREN IN YEAR R, 1 & 2
TUESDAY 4:30-5:30PM
An hour of fun, climbing and creativity.
Each week children will have a different focus and earn a colour sticker for their achievements. Sessions will begin with a game, which will be followed by climb time, where our fun and friendly staff will encourage children to become confident and independent climbers.
Children will then chill out and develop their social and sharing skills whilst colouring. Climbing and colouring compliment each other greatly to develop children’s fine and gross motor skills.

Over 18’s Only
Each Friday* 1:30-2:30pm it’s our Adult Only Session, where over 18s have the arena to themselves for a relaxed, sociable climb followed by a hot drink. And the great thing is no previous climbing experience is needed.
You do not have to reach the top of our climbing walls to benefit from the many health benefits that climbing has to offer. Our Adult Only session is suitable for confident climbers or those who could benefit from moving more for their physical and mental health as well as those with long-term health conditions.
You choose how high you climb and you choose whether you climb down or trust the climbing rope to descend.

There are many physical benefits to climbing:
Our Adult Only session will not only improve your health, but you’ll also meet new people and stay sociable.
Wellness Wednesday is our monthly, non-climbing craft session for adults.
Here at Clip ‘n Climb Bicester we know that exercise is good for your mental health, we also know that crafting and creating is good for your mental health. Hence our Adult Wellness Wednesday Craft sessions.
On the second Wednesday of each month, 7-9pm, we will be hosting a different craft session, giving you the opportunity to take time out, learn a new skill and get creative! Whether you come with friends or on your own we would love to welcome you.
As our sessions will vary – so will the cost of each session. When booking a £15 payment will be needed to secure your place. Then depending on the activity an additional payment will be required to cover the full cost of your craft – this will be taken on the night.
Your £15 includes a hot drink and part payment towards your craft.
Please note that some crafts will need collecting after the event due to the nature of the craft.
So if you have enjoyed our company and environment when visiting with the kids, but climbing is not your thing, this is the perfect NON CLIMBING session for you to come along to!
