Your Questions Answered: Thinking of coming for a climb? Checkout some of our frequently asked questions for more information before your first visit to Chimera Chatham.

Where are your three gyms located?

Our Canterbury centre is on the Wincheap industrial Estate, Chatham is in the dockyard opposite St Mary’s Island and Tunbridge Wells is on the High Brooms Industrial Estate.

Most Common Query:
Do I need to bring anything?

You can rent specialist climbing shoes at reception. You can also hire chalk if needed - chalk is useful for drying the sweat on your palms, or you can buy chalk from our shop. You can bring a reusable water bottle as there is a refilling station near reception.

Do you run kids clubs?

Yes, we run clubs across our three centres. Our Little Monkeys clubs are for 5-7 year olds, Rock Ninjas are for 8-11 year olds and Academy are for 12-16 year olds. To find out more about our kids clubs, please select which location you are closest to: Canterbury - ChathamTunbridge Wells.

Unsupervised Climbing for Under 16's?

Under 16's must be supervised by an adult on the mats unless that climber has been signed off by an instructor to climb unsupervised. We do have restricted climbing times for under-12's:
Weekdays, 10am to 6pm
Weekends, 9am to 2pm

To be approved as an under-16 independent climber at Chimera, your child must be at least 12 years old and have visited the centre at least 10 times under supervision. This can be achieved through participation in Chimera's kids clubs or by attending free climbing sessions at Chimera. After meeting these requirements, the climber can be assessed during their kids club session by a senior coach or in a private session if they are not part of the kids clubs. During this assessment, the climber will be evaluated on their knowledge of the centre's rules, safety practices while climbing, and their general behaviour within the centre.

Once your child has been assessed and approved for unsupervised climbing, they will be allowed to attend the centre on their own. However, this unsupervised status may be revoked if they are found to be behaving dangerously or disrespectfully toward other climbers or staff.

Can I bring my kids?

Yes, absolutely. Everyone over the age of five can come and climb. We do have strict supervision ratios though. One adult can supervise two kids, but if the adult wants to climb they can only supervise one child. Everyone under the age of 16 needs to be supervised, and everyone under the age of 18 needs their waiver signed off by an adult.

You don’t need any previous climbing experience to supervise kids.

When are you open?

All three walls are open seven days a week. Monday to Friday, they all open at 10am and shut at 10pm. At the weekend, Canterbury opens at 8am until 6pm, while Chatham and Tunbridge Wells open at 9am until 6pm.

There are restricted opening hours for under 12’s - they can climb until 6pm in the week and 2pm at weekends.

What is bouldering?

Bouldering is a type of rock climbing. It is where you climb smaller walls or rocks without a rope. Instead, there are big crash pads under you in case you fall.
