Saw Dire Streets here last Friday, our first time visiting this venue. The facilities were all excellent and seating comfortable. Bar prices reasonable which made for an enjoyable night out. Dire Streets were a fantastic band and well worth seeing if, like me, you grew up with the original.

Overall Ratings

On Sky Ropes adventurers can explore our fun and family friendly high ropes course, navigating their way around bridges and beams high in the sky. We have two different levels so you can choose how high you dare to go, the tallest measuring over 9 metres! Our specially trained staff will kit you out with a full body harness and brief you on safety on the ropes. When you’re on the ropes you’re free to explore how you choose, selecting your own route and moving at your own pace. Instructors will always be on hand for any help or questions. Your Sky Ropes adventure lasts 75 minutes, including kitting out and a safety briefing. Sky Ropes Junior is an exciting way for younger thrill-seekers to explore rope bridges, conquer beams and develop new skills. It offers a wonderful day out where they can test their balance and agility and create a memorable experience. The adventure lasts around 30 minutes and there is always an instructor onsite to offer any help and answer questions.
