Mobile Climbing Wall

We now have a mobile wall that you can hire for your event or party. At 8.5 metres high, it is one of the largest in the area and and is great fun for all ages, from five years to adult. This is a great addition to any event and a genuine attraction, particularly for young people. We have a set charge for the hire of the wall which includes instructors and all equipment and it is then free to your group/clients - unless you choose to make an individual charge. Travel to events in Stoke is also included.
