Welcome to

The Arc

The Arc is due to open in Spring 2022

The Arc is The Climbing Academy’s fifth centre, our third in the south west of England. Built by Chippenborough Borough Lands Charity with support from Sport England, the centre will be operated by TCA.

The Arc will offer bouldering and roped climbing, including some auto belays and roped lines outside overlooking the skate park. There will be a welcoming cafe that we hope will become a vibrant community hub for the people of Chippenham. We will offer courses and personal instruction for those wanting to learn how to climb or to brush up on skills.

Find out more about our centre or check out our pre-opening climbing offers especially for Chippenham residents who want to learn to climb or to practice in Bristol.
