A typical week at UCLIMBING. General climbing is open every day during opening hours; the sessions below show when instructor-led activities are usually offered.

How to read it

Sessions, peak & quiet times

  • Sessions are small, instructor-led groups. See each activity page for prices and age limits.
  • Off-peak climbing (Mon–Fri until 16:00) is cheaper and usually quieter.
  • Busiest times are weekday evenings and weekends. Plan to arrive early if you need equipment.
  • Private coaching, groups and parties are arranged outside this pattern by agreement.

Planning your visit

Timetable questions

Not sure when to come? Think about what you want from your session.

  • Want it quiet? Weekdays before 16:00.
  • After work or school? Expect the hall to be at its busiest between about 17:30 and 20:00.
  • Bringing children? Weekend mornings tend to suit families.
  • Want an instructor? Enquire at least a week ahead where you can.

Sessions, courses and coaching are planned around instructor availability, so please send an enquiry first. Staff will confirm availability by email. We cannot promise a place to someone who arrives without having enquired.

Weekday evenings after work and school, and weekends, are the busiest times. Monday to Friday until 16:00 is usually the quietest and is charged at our lower off-peak rate.

Mon–Fri 10:00–22:00; Sat–Sun 09:00–20:00. Last entry is 60 minutes before closing. Bank holiday opening hours can differ and are confirmed on request.

Please tell us as early as you can by replying to your confirmation email. We ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for individual sessions and coaching, 48 hours for courses and clubs, and 7 days for group bookings.
