Our kids (8 and 10) have been coming here for over a year. The staff are great with them, they give lots of encouragement, work to each child’s strengths, and the teaching is really good. The facilities are excellent - the height & size of the old church building means it’s a great & varied challenge for climbers of all ages & experience. Coffee is great too! Highly recommend.

This was an incredible Gin experience. We had 3 hours of interesting facts about the Gin making process and lots of Gin drinking!! Sherel was fantastic and so passionate and also helped by Adam on the cocktail making! All the drinks were amazing, the process of making Gin was fun and I’d love to do the rum one next time!! A great brand of Gin and a well organised tour!! Oh and we also came away with our own bottle of Gin!

Definitely will be back to try the other rooms.
