Summer Adventures: Wall Climbing

New for 2026 we are delighted to give children the opportunity to test their skills and get climbing to scale the heights on this portable wall.  This activity requires you to purchase a Day Ticket per person on the day of the activity or have a valid Season Ticket.

Wiltshire Outdoor Learning Team (WOLT) helps children to learn and develop new skills whilst growing in confidence within a safe environment.  This experience provides the perfect opportunity for beginners and climbing enthusiasts to get outdoors.

Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes throughout the day and children will be fully briefed on the day by trained instructors.  Parents should ensure they understand the risks of a physical activity and can watch (or take part) with their children.

Price:  £5.00 per child or adult

Available for 6 years and upwards.

A day ticket must be purchased in addition to an activity ticket.  Season Ticket Holders should purchase their discounted tickets from the Members Ticket Area.
