1. Clothing

Please wear clothes you are comfortable being active in. Only closed toe shoes are allowed. For safety reasons, we cannot allow hoodies, sandals or flip flops on the Clip ‘n Climb Arena, and please do not wear specialist climbing shoes. Please keep jewellery to a minimum and tie long hair back. We have lockers to safely store jewellery and other valuables.

2. Arrival

If you are travelling separately, please arrive 10 minutes before your session. We will check your waivers are completed, and check you in. Your safety briefing starts at the time on your booking.

If you are running late, we will do our best to get them into your climbing session with the minimum amount of climb lost.

3. Car and Cycle Parking

We have a very limited number of parking spaces on site. There is also on-street parking on Clifton Road and secure car parking available in the Cambridge Leisure multi-storey car park on Clifton Way, which is a short walk from our centre. Please note that as we are not tenants of Cambridge Leisure, we are not able to validate parking tickets.

Subject to availability, you can reserve a parking space if you have a disabled badge. Please contact the centre in advance of your visit to make arrangements.

Please do not use the car parks of the other businesses on the Clifton Road Industrial Estate. These are not open to the public and tenants of these may fine or clamp unauthorised vehicles. It also helps us keep happy neighbours!

We have a bike rack to the right of the centre’s front door. Please note space is very limited for parking large Dutch/Cargo style bikes on site. There is a large number of bike rack spaces outside Cambridge Leisure, which is a short walk from our centre.

4. Timings

Some sessions vary in length, but most group sessions last 90 minutes starting with a 30-minute briefing, followed by 55 minutes of climbing, then 5 minutes for removing your harness to end the session.

5. Café and viewing area

We have a café serving hot drinks and snacks. For any parents/carers staying to watch, we have a viewing area where you can watch the group tackling the awesome Clip ‘n Climb Cambridge walls.
