Family Sessions

£8 Per Climber

Safety Briefing followed by 30minutes of climbing

Friday 4:00pm

Friday 5:30pm

Saturday 9am

Sunday 9:30am

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.

Rhyme 'n Climb

£40.00 for 4 weeks

CHILDREN AGED 2, 3 & 4YEARS

TUESDAY 9:30-11AM or
FRIDAY 9:30-11AM

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.

Colour 'n Climb

£55.00 for 6 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.

£55 for 6 weeks of climbing Plus 25% off of open climb sessions throughout the term.

ALPS Adventure Squad

£55 for 5 weeks

FOR CHILDREN AGED 7 – 11 YEARS.

Our ALPS programme is split into three levels.
Level 1 – Skills and Techniques,
Level 2 – Knots and Belaying,
Level 3 – Risk Aware and First Aid.

Each Level is 5 weeks long (each session lasting an hour), costing £55.00 per child, and allows your budding climber to learn new skills and build their climbing knowledge, whilst developing their coordination and core strength ALPS Adventure Squad is led by Clip ‘n Climb Instructors and provides a great opportunity for children to gain confidence and learn more about the technical side of climbing, whilst building new friendships – all in a safe and fun environment.

Things to consider

Pre-booking of your Clip ‘n Climb session is highly recommended as our sessions fill up quickly.

When booking, you must decide what level of support your child needs based on their age, confidence and ability. We encourage all parents to interact and share the Clip ‘n Climb experience with the children in their care, whether this is as a ‘clipper’, from our arena side café or by climbing with your child.

If one parent or guardian is bringing multiple children, some of which are not their own, that adult is responsible for that group.

Loose fitting clothes and trainers are recommended.

Only closed toe shoes are allowed. For safety reasons, we cannot allow sandals, flip flops, or Croc style shoes into the Clip ‘n Climb Arena.

Please keep jewellery to a minimum and tie long hair back before you arrive.

Weight Restrictions – The minimum weight you have to be is 10kg and the maximum weight restriction is 150kg. This is to allow our Auto Belay to function safely.

Please ensure you arrive in time to be booked in and make it to your safety briefing. If you should arrive late we may not be able to fulfil your booking (no refund or amendment will be offered).

Loose fitting clothes and trainers are recommended.
