What we offer on a school trip
Rock Up has everything you’ll need for a thrilling adventure all under one roof!
We have 25 climbing walls, a three storey soft play and a high ropes course for those looking for a challenge. Additionally, we have a café that serves refreshments and hot/cold food.
School food packages can be added on for £6pp and a seating area can be made available.
What makes us a great choice for educational Visits
Rock Up is a great way to engage students in a unique and physically active experience. Climbing promotes physical fitness, builds resilience and develops self-confidence in young individuals.
What is typically included on our school trips
A typical climbing session consists of a 30 minute safety briefing followed by a 55 minute climb.
There are also options to extend your session (if you’re hungry for more.) Soft Play caters for all little ones up to 5 years, and we have seating upstairs and downstairs for spectators. There are also amazing Rock Up badges that can be added on to any group booking to reward the adventurers after the session has finished.
Group Sizes
We cater for groups of all sizes! The largest groups we could hold in our arena is around 30, however for larger groups we can split the numbers into multiple sessions. But everything is bespoke!
Materials, Resources & Keystage Information
No resources needed are needed for a Rock Up adventure, but we do offer certificates upon request & we have incredible Rock Up badges that can be purchased with any booking.
Photography, Filming & Audio Restrictions
Groups are welcome to take photos or videos during their trip as long as they are taken from outside the arena. We do not allow the use of phones or cameras within the climbing arena due to safety restrictions.
Risk Assessment
Each climber will be harnessed & briefed by a trained member of our team, and supervised fully during their adventure. There will be a safety waiver sent out prior to the session that will detail all potential risks. We can also send out a risk assessment if needed.
Pricing
Our current school rate is £8 per person.
Clothing Requirements
No specific clothing needed! Adventurers can wear whatever they feel most comfortable in. Climbers cannot wear open-toed shoes or high heels, and all jewellery must be taken off or taped up.
First Aid
We have dedicated first aiders on site at all times. All staff are well trained and signed off to perform assists & rescues in the climbing arena, and our first aid kits are regularly maintained.
Available Facilities
We have a climbing arena, soft play area, seating areas, toilets (including baby change & disabled toilets) and party/function rooms.
Accessibility & Disabled Facilities
The downstairs of the building is wheelchair accessible & our staff are trained to help with any SEN customer.
