The Climbing Station is a bouldering centre in Loughborough run for climbers, by climbers. We know what makes a great indoor-climbing experience and we put 100% into making sure that you'll have an amazing day. We have over 800sqm of bouldering surface, covering almost every angle that you can possibly think of. We also have a top rope wall that can be used by both kids and adults to learn the basics of roped climbing. As we are only a 3 minute drive from the centre of Loughborough, and less than a 10 minute drive from the M1, a large portion of our site is dedicated to secure parking. Bike racks are also available.
Great indoor climbing centre run by real enthusiasts. There is a range of bouldering routes for all levels which are regularly reset. Training for youngsters is peerless with sessions throughout the week. Drinks and cake in normal times. Sensible precautions for COVID19. Recommended.

My 10-year old daughter is attending a 6-week beginners course and she’s loving it! Our instructor, Mark, is very knowledgeable and is making time to understand all of the participant’s skill level, strengths and weaknesses and is tailoring his advice to everyone individually. He’s making sure it’s fun too, especially important for a 10-year old as there’s a lot to take in at first, but Mark’s introducing things step by step and everyone is improving as the weeks go by. There’s a really good selection of great equipment and the shooting ranges are really well themed and laid out. It’s the highlight of my daughter’s week!

Great bar, fantastic friendly staff. Love the variety of entertainment on offer and music to suit different tastes as well as getting the customers involved with requests. The staff really value their customers and there is a personalised feel. Great choice of Ale, lots of choice for Gin and Tonic including Fever Tree tonic or from the pump (cheaper option, suits me fine!) No two nights are ever the same so you just have to keep going back!

Trapped in a themed room with just your team and your wits, you are tasked with finding the clues, solving the puzzles and escaping the room. Perfect for corporate team building, friends hanging out, or showing how intelligent you are on a first date, Deadlocked Escape Rooms will bring you and your team closer together to give you an adventure you'll not stop talking about.
Had a fantastic time here completing my first ‘escape room’ experience with 4 friends. The rooms are brilliantly themed and thought out. I was impressed with the level of attention to detail. The tasks were challenging but great fun. Neil was friendly and welcoming upon our arrival and helped us get into the whole experience. Would love to return to complete another escape room here in the future.

I took my toddler here on a spur of the moment trip and found it had everything we needed... amazing views, amazing rocky formations on the hill itself with perfect views on a clear day, a woodland walk, good little play area and lots of space for picnics. Really loved it as a different morning out for the little one.
