Indoor Climbing in the Heart of Bideford
The Pocket is a friendly indoor climbing centre and café in the heart of Bideford, North Devon.
The Pocket is more than somewhere to climb. Our café is a place to relax before or after a session, catch up with friends, or enjoy a coffee while watching the climbing.
Whether you’re staying for an hour or making an afternoon of it, you’re always welcome to stay, chat and enjoy the atmosphere.

We want The Pocket to be part of the local community, where people can meet, learn and enjoy climbing together.
From first-time climbers and families to regulars and experienced climbers, everyone is welcome. Take part in sessions, learn new skills, meet other climbers and become part of North Devon’s growing climbing community.
Whether you’re completely new to climbing, an experienced boulderer, visiting with friends or looking for a new way to stay active, there’s something here for you. Come in for a climb, stay for a coffee and enjoy a relaxed space where everyone is welcome.
Our aim is simple: make climbing accessible, enjoyable and part of the local community.
Keep progressing with new problems, work on your technique and challenge yourself with something different each time you visit.
With routes regularly changing, there’s always another problem to try.
