We’ll have lots of additional health and safety measures in place of course to protect the health and wellbeing of all of our colleagues and customers, ensuring that we can welcome guests into the facility without compromising safety. For now, that means pre-booking your visit (you can do that here).

We’ll also be opening our coffee shop and bar for takeout options too, hopefully then extending the full menu offering when it’s safe to do so in the near future.

The designs for our space are pretty special; we teamed up with shedkm (who helped Urban Splash design the Matchworks scheme) to create a facility which includes features such as a training board, and the visually stunning climbing wall featuring a wide variety of climbs for novice and hardcore climbers alike. Several climbs were designed by Team GB’s pro climber Shauna Coxsey.

So, we'd love to see you there soon; lockdown’s been hard on us all, but the best thing we can do right now is get out and find new activities which can safely move us forward – climbing’s a brilliant place to get started.

The Climbing Hangar can be found in units 14-15 at Matchworks.
