Our ever-popular Kids Clubs run each term and are a fantasic way of getting kids aged 5-16 years climbing our walls under the supervision of our Instructors!

For more information on the clubs at each of our centres, please see here.

After requests from a number of parents, we would like to keep you as up to date as possible on the number of spaces we have left on our clubs.  So, if you’re thinking of booking we’ll help to make sure you don’t miss out. 

Don’t forget that you need to complete a new Parental Consent Form for the new term!  You should have been sent one when you booked but if not, you can download one here and bring it with you on the first day of term.

If you need any further information, or would like to make a booking, please call us on 0844 880 8866 and we’ll be happy to help!

Having competed for 10 years on the International circuit, mark is one of the most accomplished climbers and coaches in the country.

Mark runs sessions for up to 2 climbers at a time.  During your session you can either work on a general nip ‘n’ tuck of your climbing style or look to improve on specific elements within your climbing.  Mark is also our route-setter so can provide you with vital information on how to unlock the sequences on particular routes.

Whether you’re new to climbing, having recently completed a Beginner’s Climbing Course, or you’re a rock star in the making – Mark can assist you in discovering what’s holding you back and advise on how to keep seeing improvements after the session.

Mark says: “People are always surprised at how much progress they can make in just an hour long session.  It’s great that just a few adjustments to technique and body position can have such a positive effect.  It really can make the difference as to whether they get the next hold or fail.  The key however, is maintaining those skills after the session which is something I’m always keen to encourage by suggesting exercises and session plans which will mean their climbing will go from strength to strength.”

Mark’s sessions are available as follows:  (Prices are £40.00 for a 1:1 session and £55.00 for a 1:2 session)

If you’ve just completed one of our Beginner Courses and are looking to come along for your first session without instruction then this could be just the thing for you!

Every Wednesday evening and Friday morning and evening at Guildford you can attend the Craggy Social. 

This is an informal session but one of our climbing instructors will be on hand to offer guidance and tips to help you get the best out of your climbing in the early stages.  They will be there to reassure you so that you can gain confidence in your new skills and make some new friends to carry on climbing with at the same time!

Times are 10am to 12pm on Friday mornings and 7pm to 9pm on Wednesday and Friday evenings.  There is no need to book, but you will need to be a Craggy Island Member and have passed our registration assessment. 

The cost is £10 for the session and includes a free drink from our Cafe during the evening. 

Everyone is welcome so if you’re  just starting out or already an expert then you are guaranteed a belay and a great atmosphere!

Please call us on 0844 880 8866 for more information.
