Nice, bright and airy building with loads of space to climb or even just watch others climb. Couldn't find a traverse wall anywhere but the place is so big I may just not have seen it. A small gear shop if your need some new shoes or trousers and a membership desk come coffee shop as you enter with a large viewing platform built on top. Hopefully they will have a monthly standing order membership though as not sure how NY have the money spare to pay for a yearly membership even though that is the most economical way to climb if you're keen.

Loads of different climbing walls with levels of ease and variety of climbing. Then there is indoor cave exploring and high rise walks. Cafe was a bit poor on my visit. Hot drinks a little expensive (over £2) and there was two selections for food for kids and adults. Apart from that my 5 year old daughter had loads of fun. Would recommend

We went to this place for a friends birthday, i only managed the baby circuit as i was so scared and was no longer able to hold my own body weight on my arms. The other half however thought it was fantastic and almost skipped his way around amongst the tree tops.

I'll get this out first I don't like climbing…read more Awesome has big bouldering room with lots to go on. In fact if your on your own you can pay just to go bouldering. They have everything thing for easy to 'you might have to be able to fly to this one' hard. Thy also have a number boulder problems for kids. In the main room there is lots to go and the routes get reset about one a month. There is a leading ladder well so you might see some climbing gods playing on them. There are 3 self belys, very tall walls and a lot of lead walls to have a go at. There is room for people to sit down a watch, the cafe is quite limited but you get hot drinks. The rooms get very cold in winter and the tolets are clean.

Excellent place to do bouldering. First time properly bouldering so had a 1 hour induction first…read moreand then stayed for almost 2 hours afterwards. Good induction showing around the place, how to climb properly and warm up etc. I signed up via Groupon which was £15 for induction, 1 year membership and 3 free sessions (inc. shoe hire). The induction alone costs £15. All details about costs are on their web site. Dont think it mentioned shoe hire on the site - its £2.50.

This place is absolutely great; it's a fantastic place to attend a number of different Yoga,…read morePilates and Tai Chi classes in a relaxed environment in the heart of the city. Set just aside from the magnificent Georgian Quarter, the Wellbeing Centre is the number one place to de-stress and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. I remember attending a 90 minute beginners Yoga class when Liverpool iced over in February. My shoulders and neck were sore from being at a computer all day and I was cold to the bone. I paid my five pounds, attended a fantastic class and fell flat out asleep at the relaxation period towards the end of the session. I woke up feeling warm, de-stressed and relieved. I've since been back for four or five sessions and would recommend everyone to give the Wellbeing and Yoga Centre a try!

Meanwhile the Yoga Centre, which overlooks a pretty and peaceful garden, consistently holds classes via a weekly timetable and offers gentle and friendly introductions into the exercise, as well as a balanced, welcoming attitude. If you're looking to get away from it all and de-stress in the city centre, look no further than here.
