Whether you’re brand new to climbing or you’ve been doing it for years,
you’re in the right place!
For first timers, we have a fantastic section of kids and family courses to choose from below.
If you are a climber aged 18+, you may be able to supervise your child. Please see our Bringing your Children guidelines for more information.
Let one of our friendly instructors guide you through a family climbing session. You’ll try roped climbing and bouldering on our ever-popular Family Taster Session. Ages 7+.
No experience needed!
Bouldering is climbing on short walls, above crash mats, without a rope. It’s great fun and super popular.
At the Castle, under 16s must be supervised by a qualified adult at all times. To become qualified, parents must attend our Bouldering Supervisor course, which will enable safe supervision of an under 16 while they use our bouldering facilities.
THIS COURSE IS ESSENTIAL FOR PARENTS WITH KIDS THAT WISH TO BOULDER.
We offer a range of term-time climbing clubs, kids-only taster sessions, and school holiday courses. Our instructor-led courses cater to kids from ages 7+.
As an experienced adult rope climber, you are not required to take a course to climb with under-16s. To be considered experienced, you must be able to demonstrate putting on a harness, tying in using a figure eight or bowline knot, and belay someone safely, using a belay device.
If you are an experienced rope climber and want to bring your kids (2x kids per qualified adult), you can sign-up below.
