School Trip & Group Educational Visit Information

Venue Introduction

Awesome Walls Climbing Centre is one of the largest indoor climbing centers’ in Europe and we have the largest ‘lead’ wall in England at an Awesome 23.5 meters. Our lead and top-rope walls offer a vast variety of angles so there’s always something to challenge the group. Lockers, toilets, changing areas and showers are provided.

The centre is conveniently situated 3 minutes off the M60 junction 25 or 27 with ample free parking. We are open seven days a week Mon to Fri 10am until 10pm and Sat & Sun 10am until 6pm.

Why is this venue great for School Trips and Educational Visits?

We cater for schools on a variety of levels. School groups can come as a ‘one off’ session or we can tailor make climbing courses to suit individual school needs. The rock climbing module in the GCSE syllabus has proven extremely popular since it was introduced. We also offer our in-house award system with 6 awards to achieve.

We can provide tuition for any ratio but ideally we work with group sizes of 6 to 24.
