Arena Bouldering Works

Starting Wednesday, 16th October, we will begin constructing our new arena boulders. The area will be securely fenced off, and we are not expecting any disruption to your climbing experience. All our regular activities, including Clip n Climb, coaching, and October Half-Term sessions, will continue as usual.
