Climbing lovers are in for a treat this summer as Clip ‘n Climb prepares to open its new fun climbing centre in Reading.

Due to open in July 2022, Clip ‘n Climb Reading will feature 24 unique climbing challenges for ages 4+. The new centre includes the popular Stairway to Heaven and an eight-metre-tall Vertical Drop Slide.

As with all centres, each climbing wall will be fitted with an auto belay. This system allows climbers of all ages to ascend and descend at their own pace.

Where will Clip ‘n Climb Reading be located?

The new fun climbing climbing centre will be located in a converted grain store on the outskirts of Arborfield, south of Reading in Berkshire.

The centre will also include a birthday party area for families and friends, and a café which overlooks the climbing arena, serving a range of meals, snacks and drinks.

Owner Jon Robinson, said:

“I decided to open the business because my children had been to another Clip ‘n Climb when visiting relatives and had an amazing and fun-packed time. From this, I wondered why Reading and the surrounding area didn’t have a Clip ‘n Climb (or to be more precise my children asked me why there wasn’t a Clip ‘n Climb they could go to back home!) and I began what turned out to be a 3-year journey to find the perfect site and location!”.

Marcus Crossman, Clip ‘n Climb Franchise Manager, said:

“Unlike other climbing centres, our colourful approach to climbing makes Clip ‘n Climb the perfect place for fun family outings, birthday parties and school trips.”
