About
As the only dedicated bouldering centre in Cheltenham, Boulders offers opportunities for 'Give it a Go' sessions for adults and children as well as monthly memberships for regular climbing enthusiasts.
Their friendly team of trained instructors are always available to help and support where needed and you can also grab a drink and snack at the end of your session from the on-site café.
The 'Give it a Go' sessions are available from £20. The hour-long session with an instructor provides beginners with the skills they need to use the walls safely and start their bouldering journey. By the end of the session, you will have the option to self-certify as a ‘competent boulderer’, meaning you are free to climb unsupervised any time. Once you’re signed off as competent, you can supervise two other climbers, making this session a great place to start if you're hoping to bring family or friends along next time.
School holidays often prove a challenge for many parents as they try to keep the kids entertained. Boulders provide the ideal solution: let the kids climb the walls, so that you don't have to!
Their holiday clubs allow 7–13-year-olds the chance to develop new skills, get plenty of exercise and meet new friends through indoor bouldering. They also run clubs to help keep kids active during term time.
Boulders also offer children’s birthday parties at the centre, with full instruction and all equipment provided. Bouldering is brilliant fun for adults too, either as a leisure activity or as a great alternative (or addition) to the gym for those looking to build muscle & strength and it is only growing in popularity. In fact, according to the Association of British Climbing Walls, the sport is growing by 15-20% per year. Boulders has truly created a set-up to suit everyone, so why not start your bouldering adventure today?
