We recently had a birthday party here for our daughters 7th birthday. It was small group of 8 friends. The staff were great with them, getting them harnessed up and ready to go! The children were very excited and they all had an amazing time. I had a few parents say they hadn't been before but now they have they will be back. The parents also mentioned that it was something different to your usual party. Something the children might not have tried before. It was a mixed group of all abilities and they all thoroughly enjoyed it, playing climbing games and learning about how to climb different walls. All lead by a fabulous female instructor. The party was at 1.30pm so finished at 3pm, there was a option to order food but chose not to. However I did order drinks and snacks for every one after climbing which went down a treat! I rang in advance to book a table for the party and asked if we could sing happy birthday and cut the cake. The cafe staff were happy for us to do this which was very kind. Overall an excellent experience from the moment we arrived to minute we left. Excellent customer service counts for alot and purely on that basis I would recommend both the climbing wall and cafe. Not to mention the fun had by all of the children and the delicious food the adults ordered whilst the children were climbing! We will be back for another climbing adventure in the holidays and probably stay for lunch too! Thankyou to everyone who made the party a stress free experience for the parents and a fabulous adventure for the children!

My son had his 6th birthday party at HCC and it was fab. The instructor (Jonny) did a great job in keeping the children engaged for the whole 1.5 hours and I was really impressed by how well he managed to keep 8 over-excited children under control for so long. Everyone had a great time. We had booked a party buffet in the café afterwards. The food was freshly made and very good quality, with a variety of choices included fruit and vegetables (and this was one of the main reason I booked our party here as other climbing places in the area offer only chips, pizza and nuggets). Overall very happy with the experience.

My son is working through his NICAS levels here. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, enthusiastic and brilliant at interacting with the adolescent climbers.

My daughter had her first 1:1 climbing lesson here on Sunday afternoon. She loved it so much that we have signed her up to have weekly lessons. Staff very friendly and helpful.

I needed re-certifying in the UK for belaying my kids, so booked a private lesson. My two kids were there and the instructor was fantastic. Great level of service and delivery. It’s not the closest wall to where we live, but it’s definitely our preferred.
