Press Release

Peel Retail & Leisure has announced that Clip ‘n Climb, the pre-eminent family-friendly climbing attraction, will be opening its latest all-action venue at Gloucester Quays next year. The new 14,000 sq ft anchor, located on the upper deck, will further showcase the destination’s vibrant line-up and strengthen its mix of retail and leisure.

The venue will feature 19 climbing challenges, including Clip ‘n Climb’s signature attractions “Vertical Drop Slide” and “Stairway to Heaven”. In addition, the new site will include a large multi-level soft play area and the exclusive South Ridge Café, offering visitors the chance to recharge and refuel as part of the experience.

The signing is a game-changing addition to the upper deck venue; an area that Peel Retail & Leisure has long earmarked for indoor sport, recreation and fitness, to complement Gloucester Quays’ retail line-up strategically. With Clip ‘n Climb announced, the destination continues to evolve into a true crossover hub, blending shopping, leisure, and family-friendly activities to attract both regional visitors and tourists.
