Chimera Climbing, Bouldering Centres in Kent

Our centres

Climbing is our passion

Chimera has three indoor locations across the Southeast of England, In Tunbridge Wells, Canterbury & Chatham

Established in 2015, Chimera Climbing has been at the forefront of the bouldering scene for over a decade and has watched a niche sport go mainstream. Constantly evolving and innovating, the Chimera centres are a wonderful place to give climbing a go for the first time.

Whether you are new to the sport of bouldering, looking to get fit, keen to implement a healthy lifestyle or a seasoned pro, Chimera is the place for you. We are a bouldering centre which means no ropes - instead the walls are lower and surrounded by safety matting. But it also means no harnesses to puzzle out and no tricky knots to learn. It is the most accessible form of climbing and the easiest to take up as you don’t need a partner to get going.

Climbing and bouldering

fun, friendly and social

Climbing is a sport that caters to all starting ability levels. It’s fun, friendly and social too so a great place to make and meet friends, socialise with colleagues or bring the kids to wear them out.

You can rent shoes at reception, and simply have to register and watch the induction video before you can climb. You can register online here to save time if you are over 18. No prior experience is required – just turn up and have some fun giving it a go, and seeing how far through the colours you can progress.

If you want a helping hand, we offer taster sessions to those new to the sport and coaching classes for those looking to improve.
