We believe in inclusion at Climb Quest and will always endeavour to help any individual or group with special requirements to participate. Our climbing arena and toilets are on ground level. We do not have a lift to our mezzanine level, but all birthday parties and cafe space can be accommodated for downstairs. We also have disabled hoists to help climbers that need extra assistance to ascend our walls. We encourage anyone making a booking where you need some extra assistance to contact us and arrange a site visit prior to booking, to discuss how the climbing system operates and provide you with any information required, in order for you to decide if this is an appropriate activity for you, or anyone in your care. For health and safety reasons, we restrict the number of non climbers on the climbing arena, so please discuss any requirements you might have for carers to accompany your climber so we can make suitable arrangements. Please contact the centre in advance of your visit to make arrangements.

You can just watch, and there are spaces to sit or stand next to the arena or up on our mezzanine level. Our team will help your climber clip on and off the walls. We have a limited number of spaces each session for adults with climbers that are 6yrs or younger, have additional needs, or particularly nervous, but where possible, we ask that non-climbers stay off the arena. Spectators do not need to pay to come to Climb Quest.

Our public sessions are open to all ages, but we recommend our sessions in the late afternoon and early evening as they tend to attract more of our teenage and adult climbers. We also host regular Adult climbing sessions for climbers 16 years and above.

The maximum weight limit for our auto belays is 140kg/22 stone.

No! Loads of adults climb with us. Adults can climb in any session that has free spaces. We also host provide hire and corporate events and regular Adult climbing sessions for climbers 16 years and above.

Our minimum age is 4 years old for our regular sessions. For our Little Rockers sessions, climbers must be over 2 years old and be at least 12kg to climb.

You can sign the waiver for all of your guests, and we ask that you do this before your party. Likewise, you can forward the link to your guests’ parents to sign for them.

Yes, all climbers and helpers must attend the safety briefing in full, each time they climb with us.

Don’t worry! These things happen and we will do our best to look after your guests before you arrive.

No, refunds can only be given 7 days prior to the party date.

We require 7 days' notice in advance so please do let us know if you would like to change the booking. It’s always best to overestimate to avoid disappointment. In the event of a last-minute drop-out, an adult or child can take their place.

In the event of a last-minute drop-out, an adult or child can take their place. Don’t let the kids have all the fun! Regrettably, we are unable to cancel or refund any spaces unused on the day of the booking.

We recommend that the party host arrives 15 minutes before the time of booking.

Yes – we have coin-operated lockers available. These require a £1 coin to open. The coin is refunded when you empty the locker. We can also supply trugs for coats and presents.

We can make gluten and lactose free pizzas, and vegetarian and gluten-free hotdogs. All of our pizzas are vegetarian.

We do not allow food and drink purchased elsewhere to be consumed on the premises. The exception is birthday cakes which we are delighted for you to bring. We can store these safely in our office while the climbing session is going on.

There is lots of free parking at The Kingston Centre.

Parents can enter the centre to pick their children up.

From the start of the briefing to the end of the climbing, the session is 2 hours long.

We would recommend reading our terms and conditions for climbing with us, especially the following key points: - We are unable to host any climbers who are wearing open-toed shoes (EG. sandals), or specialist rock-climbing shoes. We strongly recommend trainers. - Climbers with long hair (below shoulder-length) must tie it back behind them. We can provide hairbands for 50p each. You can purchase these from our reception desk. - We ask that all climbers remove wrist-watches, bracelets and bangles. - Our Extreme Challenges, the Stairway to Heaven and Vertical Drop Slide, have a recommended minimum height of 120cm. - Upon arrival, we recommend that all climbers make full use of the toilet facilities before their briefing – as we do not allow climbers to use the toilet while wearing a harness (for obvious reasons!). - We have lockers available to store personal belongings. These lockers require a £1 coin, which is refunded when you leave.

Our Climbing Team can help with clipping, but we find that most climbers who are 10yrs or over can use Belaymate themselves. We need to limit the number of non-climbers on the arena, so we ask that you only go on if your climbers are between 4 and 6 years old, or have additional needs. Please speak to our Front of House team about going onto the arena.

The party menu is designed for little eaters. For grown-ups we can provide a wide range of both hot and cold food from our cafe – which will be open all day on the day of your party.

After your party has been confirmed and paid for, we operate a cancellation policy that allows for full or part cancellations and refunds for parties, where you notify us of your desire to cancel up to seven days before the party. Regretfully, we are unable to cancel bookings or refunds where notice given is less than seven days before the date of the booking. To request a refund, please contact us. If you find out that children can’t make the party nearer to the date, we are able to refund a maximum of two children onto a gift card with at least 48 hours’ notice.

We strongly recommend that you book for the maximum number of spaces you can expect to attend, as we can cancel and refund individual spaces as per our cancellation policy (see below) – however it may not be possible to increase the number of spaces in your booking, if the session you have booked for has subsequently sold out.
