Roped climbing adventures for growing confidence

Climbing is a brilliant way for kids to stay active, burn energy and build confidence – all while having loads of fun. In our Rockhoppers classes, children use ropes and harnesses to explore climbing walls in a supportive, instructor-led environment.

Each weekly session introduces key climbing skills through games, movement challenges and our in-house award scheme. There’s no need for prior experience – just a sense of adventure and a willingness to try.

Rockhoppers runs during school term time and can be block booked initially with single sessions released separately.

Climbing Birthday Parties

“The instructors were amazing – so friendly and encouraging with all the kids. Everything was really well organised and the children had the best time. We’ll definitely be back!”
– Birthday party parent

Looking for a birthday party that’s active, exciting and seriously fun? Our climbing parties are designed to give kids an unforgettable experience – whether it’s their first time on the wall or they’re already little pros.
Led by friendly, experienced instructors, these sessions are full of climbing, games and laughter – a brilliant way to celebrate in a social and supportive setting.
Want to keep the party going? Many of our centres offer space and food options for post-climb celebrations. You’re welcome to bring your own cake or let us look after the food. Check with your local centre to see what catering options are available when you book.

What to wear
Comfort is key – we recommend non-restrictive clothing like leggings, tracksuits or t-shirts, with comfy trainers or plimsolls. Please avoid anything too loose or baggy. Bring layers you can adjust as you warm up.

Book your party

• Guest Names: Only the birthday child’s name is required now. You can provide the full list later.
• Special Requests: Contact us directly and we’ll be happy to help.

Please note: Participant refers to you, the parent, not the child celebrating their birthday.

Our Youth Climbing classes are a brilliant way for young people to get active, make friends, and have loads of fun on the wall – all while learning to climb safely. Led by qualified and friendly instructors, each session helps build confidence, co-operation, and problem-solving skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.

We follow a clear and engaging progression that lets kids develop their climbing skills week by week. Achievements are tracked along the way, giving a real sense of progress – and something to be proud of! Whether they're just getting started or already love climbing, there’s always something new to learn.

Sessions run during term time and can be booked in blocks.

All instructors hold Mountain Training qualifications and enhanced DBS checks.

TCA runs a range of social sessions.

At their heart, our socials are about meeting other climbers and building connections within our friendly community. They're a relaxed, welcoming way to climb alongside other people, share routes and problems, and get to know the wider TCA community.

Some sessions are instructed, some aren't and a few are aimed at specific groups within the community.
