Being a girl and going for my first ever climb i was quite nervous. I was greeted by Charlotte who took me through the whole process and eased my nerves. I couldn’t recommend Charlotte more. She gave me a great first climbing experience and I can’t wait to come back and climb with her again.

A real life escape game has arrived in Durham. You and your team will need to solve a series of puzzles in under an hour, can you beat the room? Great for team building, stag/hen do's or just a great way to spend an hour with friends or family!

We had great fun at Escape Rooms Durham - clues to crack codes, to release keys, to open draws, really challenging with additional clues provided by Danielle who guided us just as much as we needed and we escaped with 22 seconds to go (but there were only two of us so not bad!) Highly recommend this - a fun hour that gets you thinking!

We went with my partners parents who are 80 and it was great fun. Alex our host was fabulous he was giving just enough nudges to move us on and was very accommodating to the older ones. We all said it was a good experience even after a few squabbles during the game ha ha. Defo recommend fun for all ages.

What a great experience this is! Very impressed with the Covid precaution arrangements and the flexible approach to ensuring the booking, reception, and the whole flight experience is handled efficiently & safely. Office Staff and waiting facilities are superb and really appreciated the clear and concise communication about weather difficulties, waiting times etc. The flight itself was customised to my wishes entirely to bring me a fantastic Hour of flying experience, including 'Hands On' control guided by Marc, and a wealth of background into the Aircraft and flying it. At no time time did I feel unsafe or rushed into doing something I didn't want to do, and as a Present or just a unique treat I cannot recommend it too highly. It was Just Brilliant!
