If you just want to come climbing independently, feel free to turn up at your leisure during our opening hours. Classes and activities must be booked in advance.

It’s optional! if you prefer to have an instructor to get you going you can do so by booking one of our get started lessons

Everyone wishing to climb or supervise must follow our standard registration process which includes watching our induction video and filling a registration form. It’s quick and easy to do so and you can pre-register online to save time when you arrive or do it at Rhino.

Only climbing shoes, if you don’t have your own don’t worry we have them available for hire when checking in. These will help improve your climbing performance and make your experience more enjoyable. 

Anything comfortable that allows you to move freely. Dresses, skirts and flip flops are not recommended! 🙂

Absolutely! Everyone at Rhino was a first timer at some point, and we’re always excited to welcome new climbers. Our space is designed to be beginner-friendly, and our community is genuinely supportive—no pressure, no judgment. Whether you’re figuring it out or just here to have a go, you’ll fit right in. And if you need help, our team’s always around.

Not at all. Many people climb solo and love it—it’s their time to focus, unwind, and move mindfully. But if you’re keen to meet others, Rhino’s the perfect place. Our community is friendly and open, and we run regular Adult Social and Women’s+ Social nights designed for exactly that. Whether you want company or quiet, you’ll feel right at home.

You don’t need to be super fit or strong to get going! We have over 200 boulder problems throughout the centre ranging in difficulty, so there’s something for everyone regardless of your level of experience, that’s the beauty of climbing!

If you’re keen to avoid the busier periods, we recommend visiting on weekday mornings or early afternoons—especially before 4pm. Weekends and evenings tend to be more popular, but there’s always space to find your own pace. And if you’ve got any questions while you’re here, our staff are always happy to help.

No! We also have a warming café where you can sit comfortably and enjoy snacks & drinks (and beer!) when you are not climbing! You are also welcome to bring your laptop and do any work in there as we have a fully setup CoWorking space with meeting rooms and phone booths! We have an equipped gym and offer training workshops too.

First of all you get unlimited access to our centre so you can visit us as much as you want. If you don’t have climbing shoes, then you can rent a pair for free! On top of your unlimited access we’ll give you 10% off our retail and café items (excluding sale items) and 15% off classes and instructed activities. Not only that but you also get 2 guest passes a month, to use these you will need to bring a friend who has never climbed at Rhino before. Members also will get discounted prices and/or exclusive access to many of our events!
