Why it matters: Half-term – as they so often do – has come around fast. Whether you’re a regular vistor looking to save a few quid, or looking for new ways to keep the kids occupied, one of Ipswich's most popular family activities is more affordable when you need it most.
The big picture: Clip ‘n’ Climb Ipswich has seen extraordinary growth since opening in 2019, with customers collectively climbing the equivalent height of Mount Everest more than 6,000 times.
300,000 customers served in six years
46 climbing walls and challenges, each 10 metres high
60 million metres climbed in total - equivalent to scaling Everest 6,780 times
20% discount on climbing sessions during half-term
30% off food at the Climber Diner
Josh Davey, Director of Clip 'n Climb Ipswich, said: "It is incredible to have welcomed our 300,000th customer and to have visualised just how high our customers have climbed in only six years."
What's available: The centre offers toddler sessions, an after school club and fitness classes throughout the week, alongside challenges including the Leap of Faith and Vertical Drop Slide. A softplay area operates next to the on-site cafe for younger guests.
Davey emphasised the inclusive nature of the facility: "What makes Clip 'n Climb Ipswich so inclusive is how it's not just adults who have climbed to these great heights - we're a popular venue for families, particularly during the school holidays, and children absolutely fly up the walls."
What's next: Davey said: "We're continuing to see more customers coming along for their first climb every week - and we love to see new faces. Hopefully as we continue to grow, our next milestone will be climbing the equivalent distance to the moon!"
The bottom line: The business is celebrating its success by making climbing more accessible during the school holidays, whilst continuing to serve as what Davey calls "a genuine community resource where all people - regardless of their ability - can come for a fun day out."
