What people are saying

"Atmosphere is great"

"Been taking my son and daughter to their academy club for a year now.  Atmosphere is great - supportive, relaxed, and recognising that each kid learns differently.  Staff are very friendly and it has a feeling of a community there."

Questions Answered

Thinking of coming for a climb? Check out some of our frequently asked questions for more information before your first visit to our Canterbury Centre.

What is bouldering?

Bouldering is a type of rock climbing. It is where you climb smaller walls or rocks without a rope. Instead, there are big crash pads under you in case you fall.

Most Common Query:
Do I need to bring anything?

You can rent specialist climbing shoes at reception. You can also hire chalk if needed - chalk is useful for drying the sweat on your palms, or you can buy chalk from our shop. You can bring a reusable water bottle as there is a refilling station near reception.

Can I bring my kids?

Yes, absolutely. Everyone over the age of five can come and climb. We do have strict supervision ratios though. One adult can supervise two kids, but if the adult wants to climb they can only supervise one child. Everyone under the age of 16 needs to be supervised, and everyone under the age of 18 needs their waiver signed off by an adult.

You don’t need any previous climbing experience to supervise kids.

When are you open?

All three walls are open seven days a week. Monday to Friday, they all open at 10am and shut at 10pm. At the weekend, Canterbury opens at 8am until 6pm, while Chatham and Tunbridge Wells open at 9am until 6pm.

There are restricted opening hours for under 12’s - they can climb until 6pm in the week and 2pm at weekends.

Do you have the basic safety rules in Ukrainian / Russian?

Yes we do. Please click here for the Ukrainian and Russian translations of our rules.
