Everything you need to know before booking

What safety measures are in place for a climbing party?

At XC, participant safety is our top priority. As part of The Association of British Climbing Walls, we have stringent safety measures and checks in place for a fun and secure experience. Our experienced instructors will guide and supervise children, providing thorough safety briefings and necessary equipment such as helmets, harnesses, and other climbing equipment.

Our bouldering and climbing party packages are suitable for a wide range of age groups. We cater to children as young as 5 years old, all the way up to teenagers and even adults! Our experienced instructors are skilled at tailoring the activities to suit the abilities and interests of different age groups, ensuring that everyone has a great time.

Yes, parents are more than welcome to participate in caving and climbing party activities. We believe in creating a inclusive and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. If you want to join in the fun please let us know in advance so that we can ensure we have the correct equipment available! A parent joining in would count towards the participant numbers.

Dress appropriately according to the temperature outside. Although we are an enclosed building, it can be hot in summer and cold in winter. Wear layers that can be easily removed if you become hot. Dresses and skirts are not permitted. Remove all jewellery and if you have long hair, this must be tied back into a low ponytail.

We ask that acknowledgement of risk forms are completed by the parents or legal court-appointed guardian of each child before arrival. If this is not done prior to the activity start time they will not be permitted to participate.
