Climbing in Winter

Our centres are big warehouse spaces, so it can feel as cold inside as out when you first arrive. Come in warm, comfy layers and bring a beanie if you have one. You’ll warm up once you get climbing but planning to start in a T-shirt would be a chilly shock.

What’s Happening?

We’re giving new climbers the chance to come down to TCA and give climbing a try, absolutely free (including shoe hire)! Whether you prefer to dive straight in or get a structured introduction, we have options for everyone.

1. Just Walk In!

For those who are ready to hit the mats straight away, you can head down independently and have a go at bouldering yourself!

  • How it works: All you need to do is fill out a simple registration form before you arrive.
  • Safety First: Your first entry includes a full safety briefing, starting with a safety video at the beginning of the form process. Once you’re briefed, you’re good to go!

2. FREE Bouldering Inductions (No Booking Required)

If you’d like a more guided experience to learn the basics of climbing and get a tour of the centre before you start, just ask a member of staff when you arrive and they’ll take you through everything you need to know. Subject to staff availability.

3. FREE mince pie and warm cuppa

After your session, sit back and relax in our cafe and enjoy a hot drink (tea or americano) and mince pie on us! The perfect way to soak in your experience and reminisce on all the fun you’ve had.

5. Special offer on the day

You’ll also get the added bonus of a one-time deal where you can pay for your next 2 entries for just £10. Just ask a staff member on the day to process this for you. Valid for 3 months.
