Peel Retail & Leisure has announced that Clip ‘n Climb, the leading family-friendly climbing attraction, has opened its latest high-energy venue, with a 14,000sq ft space at Gloucester Quays.
Located on the upper deck, the new Clip ‘n Climb venue features 19 unique climbing walls for scaling new heights, including the much-loved signature Vertical Drop Slide and Stairway to Heaven, alongside exciting challenges such as the colourful Tree Trunk, designed to simulate climbing a real tree and the Speed Climb for competitive climbers.
The venue also includes Play Den, a four-level soft play area for younger visitors, alongside the on-site South Ridge Café, offering visitors the chance to relax and enjoy refreshments as part of the experience.
The opening of Clip ‘n Climb follows a year of standout growth for Gloucester Quays. Throughout 2025, the outlet welcomed a plethora of new brands including Søstrene Grene, Ben Sherman, Label Yard and Men Kind, with total centre occupancy currently standing at 96 per cent. These retail additions, alongside the opening of Clip ‘n Climb, showcase the evolution of Gloucester Quays into a true crossover hub, seamlessly blending shopping, dining and leisure activities to attract both locals and tourists in need of a full day-out offer.
Paul Carter, Asset Director at Peel Retail & Leisure, commented: “Clip ‘n Climb brings something we’ve always wanted at Gloucester Quays. With the padel courts and a gym around the corner, we have brought together three leisure uses that cater to all the fun and fitness needs of our community, whether they’re visiting for an hour or a day.
