Visit The Lock Climbing Wall

The Lock Climbing Wall is open all year-round and can be accessed by both individuals and groups depending upon the levels of competency you hold. All visitors wishing to climb and /or belay unsupervised at The Lock are required to complete a registration form and accept our terms of use prior to using the wall.

Please see our How to Register section for more information.

If you are an adult with limited climbing experience you may wish to consider doing one of our Learn to climb courses. Young children can be taught by our instructors from 5 years old as part of a bespoke session or alternatively they can take part in our NICAS sessions from 7 years old.
