Welcome to

The Arc

PARKING There is now paid parking at the centre. Set up RingGo app to save time before you visit. Disabled and bike parking on site.

The Arc has bouldering and roped climbing, auto belays and roped lines outside overlooking a free, unsupervised skatepark. We offer adult and youth courses and sessions for new climbers. Find out more about our centre and read answers to your FAQs.

You do not need to book to try bouldering or if you are a competent rope climber.

The Arc Cafe is open to the public 7 days a week, for pastries, specials, pizzas, burgers, kids meals and more. Our extensive decking is dog friendly and overlooks a free children’s play park with a sculpture walk nearby.

Built by CBLC with support from Sport England, the climbing centre is operated by TCA. The climbing centre and skatepark was funded from CBLC's investments together with a grant of £200,000 from Wiltshire Council towards the skatepark and £100,000 grant towards the climbing centre from Sport England.
