    Very enjoyable. 3 children, one disabled and all able to participate. Friendly staff and a big shout out to James who was wonderful with all the children. Good value & recommended

    Was a little extreme for a 7 year olds birthday party. It is an amazing place, especially for more experienced climbers.

    We keep coming back so it's gotta be good, right? :) Friendly staff, a fair social vibe, mostly overhanging climbs , a ton of auto-belays, a bouldering area that gets you pumped in 10 seconds flat, and (extremely) regular setting of new routes! Not the strictest on safety but all it takes is talking nicely to our fellow climbers to inform them of safer practices.

    It had been a while since I last climbed so booked in a refresher. James, who led the course was really helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The centre has a nice relaxed atmosphere and a good range of climbs for all abilities, a fair few are on auto belay devices so can be climbed alone too. The bouldering section is a decent size with a lot of variety. They run a kids club where the staff take small groups of children and teach them to climb and supervise them, handy if the kids are driving you up the wall and you want them out from under your feet ;) Most importantly they sell tea/coffee and cake!

    Great place, based in an old church has plenty of varied skill level climbs and a good bouldering wall too. Hires equipment and sells it too, they make a great brew and home made cookies too 😋

    Fabulous customer service - we'd taken a large group for a pre-booked party. It is very reasonably priced, and the instructors were fabulous.

    Everything is overhanging. Far too busy for the building. No checks of belay competency. Everybody climbing directly next to and underneath us having already started climbing. Huge class of kids on with insufficient supervision, kids running around under climbers and standing on ropes of lead climbers. Overall pretty stressful. Won't be returning.

    Excellent place for starters and the experienced! Also great cakes on sale. Not been here for over 10 years but still the same, apart from the auto-belay machines!

    Came for a taster session with 4 friends and we had a great time! Our instructor, James, was very supportive and encouraging. We had fun and it was a good intro to climbing :D

    Good climbing centre in an old church so some nice high top rope and lead climbs. Some of the grading inconsistent. Also could do with some more volumes and more modern holds. Bouldering area quite small and low. Defiantly recommend for top rope and lead.

    Took a youth group for a taster session. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The instructor (James) was amazing. Everybody was welcoming. Well worth a visit.

    Took 4 grandchildren today. Never been before. They have never stopped talking about it. Parents were amazed. The staff were great. Instructor was really good - encouraging them and keeping them safe at all times. Highly recommend. They had such fun. Excellent value.

    Love it. Great facilities.. Great staff.. lots of equipment to hire. Food & snacks. Good amount of space for parking too although some days it can be full. Everyone seems friendly & happy to chat and help. The walls are good.. a variety of angles on the walls and grip combinations.. I'm still on the basics so using big jug handles lol. Some of them literally puzzle my head because you must need to hang on one little finger tip or something! Bouldering section is fun.. wasn't a fan at first but it's challenging and really builds up strength! My kid and me are trying to get along weekly. He absolutely loves it & it's a real focal point in the week for him and I get a good exercise workout too :) I'm probably underselling it here, but If you're in the area definitely check it out 👍

👍👍 I would definitely recommend hiring the function room here, used it for my party last Saturday night. It was originally supposed to be 2 years ago had to keep moving the date due to Covid which Adam the manager was happy to move no problem. The room is large and clean. The staff are all friendly and...

👍👍 We went here as we were on the look out for more choice of leg machines. We were not disappointed! Its only £2.50 to use the gym which is an absolute steal for the amount of equipment there. Huge selection of machines and its super clean. Will be definitely using this gym again
