Boulder Shack
Opening times

Prices and memberships

Make the Shack your regular spot.

A membership is the wall whenever you want it: before work, after a long day, on a wet Sunday. Climb as much as you like, get to know the faces, and feel yourself getting stronger. No contract, no joining fee, and you can cancel whenever you need to.

Not-for-profit since November 2025. Every pound goes back into the walls, the setting and the team.

Membership

Come once a week and it already costs less than paying each time.

Pick who it is for and how you would like to pay.

Money questions, answered.

  • Is there a joining fee?

    No joining fee and no contract. Memberships are monthly and you can cancel whenever you need to. If you are not sure yet, a day ticket or a punch card is a sensible place to start.

  • What is the ICWC benefit?

    We are a founding member of the Independent Climbing Wall Collective. Members get free visits to other independent walls in the collective, which is very handy if you travel.

  • What counts as off-peak?

    Weekdays 10:00 to 16:00. Everything else is peak. If you are on an off-peak ticket or membership and want to stay into the evening, there is a £3.50 peak upgrade at the desk.

  • Can I freeze my membership?

    Yes, and it is free. Injuries and long trips happen. Talk to the desk or email us and we will pause it.

  • Are classes included in my membership?

    They are on Climbing and Classes, £63 a month. On a climbing only membership you can add classes for £8 a month. Classes without climbing are £25 a month.
