Good to know
Your questions, answered
Still unsure? Our full FAQs cover everything from clothing to cancellations.
Do I have to pay to assist my child if I don't climb?
No. You do not have to pay to enjoy and assist your children inside the climbing area.
I have no previous climbing experience, is Clip 'n Climb for me?
Clip 'n Climb is designed to be fun for everyone aged 4 and up. The difficulty of our challenges varies so there is something for everyone, from beginners to experts. Our staff are on hand to assist those who are less confident — and we can make it harder if needed, of course.
How long do Clip 'n Climb sessions last?
85 minutes. Sessions comprise a 30 minute safety briefing and harness fitting, followed by 55 minutes in the climbing space.
When do I need to arrive?
For a regular climbing session, please arrive at least 5 minutes before your session so we can sign you in ready for the briefing.
For a birthday party, please arrive 10 minutes before your session. It is worth telling party guests to arrive 15 minutes early to allow for late comers — we will do our best to accommodate them, but we cannot extend climbing time.
Is there parking on site?
£2 parking for the length of your stay — you can go shopping or visit the Quays afterwards and it still costs £2. Tickets are validated on exit of Clip 'n Climb.
What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing and trainers.
Open toed shoes, flip flops, boots, crocs, rock shoes and heels are not permitted in the climbing arena.
Long hair must be tied back, and loose jewellery, hats or hooded tops must be removed before climbing for safety reasons.
