Looking for a fun, easy way to try climbing? Our taster sessions are the perfect introduction – whether you're after a one-off adventure or curious about taking it further.

Climbing is a social, active and creative sport that’s surprisingly easy to get into – making it a fantastic way to stay fit. These 'have-a-go' sessions let you try bouldering, roped climbing and auto belays. No previous experience required.

Session length may vary depending if you book an adult, family or kids-only taster. Check calendar for availability.

By the end of the session, you’ll be ready to visit the centre as a boulderer and auto belay user. (Children will still need supervision). If you'd like to keep climbing on the ropes, our Beginners' Courses are the perfect next step.

Loved your first climb? Your second visit is free to keep the fun going (excludes courses).

"Highly recommend great staff, great facilities and a fantastic experience." Katie

Looking for new belay partners?

Whether you've just finished a Roped Beginners' course, moved to a new area, or want to grow your climbing circle – our Roped Socials are a great way to meet other climbers and find belay partners.

(Formerly known as Climbers' Club - Partner Scheme), these relaxed 2-hour sessions are open to registered roped climbers. Although not an instructed session, a TCA instructor will lead introductions and a group warm-up. They will also be on hand to offer belaying tips, good practice advice and friendly support for those who need it – especially helpful if you’re new to the centre or roped climbing in general.

Come climb, connect and have fun – we’ll see you on the wall!
