Clip ‘n Climb Ilkley has launch of three new activities designed to cater to climbers of all ages and abilities.
The local climbing venue's new offerings – Rock Stars Climbing Club, Disco Friday and Adult Clip Fit – are set to offer even more excitement to adventure-loving residents.
The Rock Stars Climbing Club is an after-school programme that offers children aged 4-12 an opportunity to develop their climbing skills in a fun, supportive environment, coming every week to take part with like-minded climbers.
Disco Friday is the perfect end to the working week, offering climbers the chance to enjoy a unique experience as the climbing arena is transformed into a vibrant, disco-lit space.
Adult Clip Fit is an instructor-led fitness and climbing class tailored for adults. Combining the physical benefits of climbing with a structured workout, Clip Fit offers a full-body challenge that is both fun and effective.
Located in Ilkley’s Station Plaza, Clip ‘n Climb Ilkley has been a hub of family-friendly fun since it opened. Having been original investors for the centre’s opening in 2015, Sally and Richard Shelton took over sole ownership in 2022 and the climbing facility has earned a well-deserved reputation for its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to outstanding customer services, having won the Ilkley Business Awards Leisure, Entertainment and Tourism category on three separate occasions.
Sally Shelton said:
“We’re thrilled to bring these new experiences to Ilkley. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a seasoned climber or trying it for the first time, there’s something for everyone at Clip ‘n Climb Ilkley. Our goal is to provide a safe, enjoyable environment that’s welcoming for all ages and we’re so grateful for the support we’ve received from our local community.”
To support the launch of its new activities, Clip ‘n Climb Ilkley have partnered with local web design company Bluehoop Digital Limited to revamp its website. The new website offers a user-friendly experience, making it easier than ever for customers to book sessions, learn about the different activities on offer, and stay updated with the latest news.
