We had a lovely morning making and sampling fudge after we were given a family ‘fudge making experience’ as a present. Lee and the boys in the shop were very friendly and keen for us to have a go creaming and loafing the salted caramel fudge. It was amazing to watch the whole process and join in with all the steps. It’s the children got involved and we were able to sample all the different flavours along the way. Would highly recommend!

So, midway through the summer holidays with an active 9yr old son, and we were looking for something different to do for an afternoon. Having thrown a few ideas about, each being met with the cry of 'boring' I happened upon the clip and climb website. Straight away this grabbed his attention. The website is easy to navigate and booking the tkts and add ons was simple. On arriving, parking was 'on street' pay and display. On entering the building we were immediately met with a happy and warm welcome from the staff, who clearly explained the layout and process, showing us to a waiting are for the safety brief. The climbing area is very vlean, with lots of jand sanitizer stations. The obstacles are all brightly coloured, engaging. And of different changing levels. Although its not a huge space, it is very well layed out, with staff patrolling the rarea and offering friendly encouragement, especially to some of the younger or more nervous climbers. After the briefing and being fitted with the harness, we took to the climbs.... although apprehensive to start, my son quickly began to enjoy himself, and as soon as he trusted the automatic belay system on each wall, he was flying! The 55 min climbing time, doesn't seem like much, but he was exhausted by the end. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon. The staff were at times patient beyond belief, and offered encouragement and advice to my lad, meaning that he was able to relax, have loads of fun, burn off loads of energy AND try the two challenges! Both of which he had flatly refused to try.... I can't recommend this establishment highly enough! Wellbworth a visit, and certainly shall be returning! THANK YOU to all the staff !
