Kids Bouldering
In Bideford

Looking for something fun, active and a little different to do with the kids?

The Pocket welcomes young climbers into a friendly and relaxed environment where they can get moving, try something new and have plenty of fun along the way.

Climb, Explore & Build Confidence

Bouldering gives children the freedom to move, explore and challenge themselves at their own pace.

As they climb, they’ll learn to work out routes, try different movements and overcome challenges. Reaching the top of a problem they’ve been working on can be a great little confidence boost and there’s always another challenge waiting.

Our friendly team is here to help children get comfortable with climbing and make their experience at The Pocket a positive one.

Climbing Parties & Group Sessions

Make their next birthday one to remember with an action-packed climbing party at The Pocket!

Perfect for birthdays, group activities or simply getting friends together for something a little different, our climbing sessions give children the chance to have fun, get active and enjoy an exciting climbing experience together.

Our two-hour climbing parties are £20 per person, with a £50 deposit required to secure your booking.

And the fun doesn’t stop after climbing! Children can refuel with a choice of hotdog and chips or pizza and chips, with unlimited squash throughout. Party invitations are available, and every child receives a certificate to take home.

Ready to plan your party? Get in touch with us to check availability and book.
