‘It gently stretches our abilities, while making it fun’

For those of you who can’t make it on person, have childcare or mobility difficulties or just want to learn from the comfort of your own home – join us for 2 Mondays each month to play some warm up games and record some extracts of script.
Dates below: Mondays 7-9pm online
£10 per week or £50 for the whole 6 week project.

Tour of The Arc
2022-09-17 14:00 - 17:00 | The Arc, Westmead Lane, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3HZ, United Kingdom
As part of Heritage Open Days you can book a free guided tour of The Arc, Chippenham’s most striking new building.
Designed by Chippenham Architect Rob Elkins (Artel 31) for Chippenham Borough Lands Charity, The Arc climbing centre is one of Chippenham’s newest and most striking structures. It is one of the first climbing centres in the UK to be entirely purpose-built. Most are established in existing warehouses or churches.

This is your chance to find out what goes on behind the peaks of the impressive north and south blocks. You will learn interesting details about the building including how it has been future-proofed to withstand being built on a flood plain! The centre is operated by The Climbing Academy on behalf of CBLC. You will have the chance to meet TCA staff and ask questions about how the centre works.

In addition to the main buildings, The Arc features an impressive wooden cafe decking that affords views of the rare outside climbing wall, a state-of-the-art skatepark (designed by CANVAS) and Westmead Playing Fields. The tour will include inside and outside locations, so come prepared for both.
The building is fully accessible for wheelchair users. We have baby changing facilities and a cafe serving hot food, snacks and sweet treats.
Tours will run every half hour from 2pm until 5pm
Free but booking required via – https://www.theclimbingacademy.com/tca-life/arc-tours/
