We love The Font! My kids have been climbing here since it opened and really enjoy it. The courses for kids are well-structured and the coaches make it fun too. One of my children has disabilities and they have adapted things for them and been inclusive. Highly recommended.

Inspiring setting with genuinely good movement and well set problems that challenge physically, technically and mentally. Great big well equipped gym space, didn’t feel sweaty even on a super hot June day. Management and staff create an inclusive and fun atmosphere however ‘seriously’ you take your climbing.

Staff were really friendly and welcoming. The climbing areas have an open feel with a well considered set of wall angles, catering for a variety of climbing styles. The setting is great and the training equipment in the gym area is first class.

Great centre, lot of variation on wall and routes. Lots of different difficulties and styles. Clean centre, well laid out, friendly staff and people. Good food options, too!

Great place, I really love the routes! There are modern style, big colourful volumes as well as lots of more technical routes with nice sequences of rock-like moves. I really enjoy climbing here.

Love this wall! Great location for both a climb and a social gathering after work or on the weekend. Route settings are true to Grade.

It’s a lovely, warm welcoming venue and my son thoroughly enjoys the development programme.  Bouldering has become his new passion thanks to the Font and it’s great coaches!

Fantastic climbing gym with friendly staff and frequent re-setting of routes. There is a casual and social environment both on the wall, in the gym area, and in the cafe/bar! Not many gyms do beer on tap, which is a tasty bonus.

Really great place. I did an Intro to Bouldering session. It was great to learn about the different techniques and the instructor was excellent. There is a café and bar area with a really nice vibe. I'll definitely return!

My son loves this place and is doing the development programme. Everyone is incredibly nice and very passionate about climbing. I’ve been really impressed how well they teach the kids. Great atmosphere, staff and fellow climbers.
