After you complete an induction you will be able to sign in and get bouldering! \n(Under 14’s are welcome on bouldering inductions and to climb however they must be accompanied by the adult supervising them\, supervisors who will not be actively participating may accompany their child free of charge) \nBritRock Film Tour Line-up \nBig Walls and Bedtime Stories – 15mins \nAs part of their year of “education through adventure\,” professional climber Leo Houlding shares his favourite place with his favourite people. From home-schooling at 2\,000 feet to portaledge snowball fights\, Jackson and Freya scale the Muir Wall on El Capitan\, supported by Mum Jess and Dad Leo. Come and hang out with the family! \nLittle Wings – 25mins. \nFor 5’2” Tina Breslin\, the tallest lines bring the greatest solace. Tina was recently diagnosed with ADHD\, and highballs are her escape from an overactive mind. We follow Tina’s climbing year as she tours stunning lines in North Yorkshire and the Lakes\, supported by her partner Ian Henderson – a 6’4 giant who provides no useful beta! Tina’s severe lack of reach and her neurological state provide ever-present challenges that Tina never shies from. This film is a sweet and charming exploration of the mental benefits of climbing\, and of the focus that can be found in commitment. In the grand conclusion\, the stakes are raised when Tina attempts ‘Hang the Gallows High’\, a route where falling is not an option. \nTrad Stars – 60mins \n2025 proved to be one of the best trad climbing years in living memory\, and filmmaker Al Lee has been on a mission to document its most incredible ascents. Trad Stars celebrates UK trad climbing in all its glory – the colourful characters\, the rich history\, the thrilling lines\, the awesome climbing! \nHighlights include: \n\nJaw-dropping onsights from the likes of Siebe Vanhee\, Robbie Phillips.\nFirst ascents from Ian Cooper.\nSuper-impressive hard repeats from Billy Ridal (Rhapsody E11 7a) and Katie Keely (Always the Sun\, E7 6b)\nBlind climber Jess Dufton making his most impressive ‘non-sight’ to date with an ascent of the Pembroke route ‘Howling Gale’\, E3 6a.\n\nThis epic documentary celebrates the brilliance of British trad climbing with action from today’s heroes\, but also with an eye on the history and ethics that make UK trad unique. Cameos from Zoe Wood\, John Dunne and Tanya Meridith all help paint an entertaining and vibrant picture of today’s trad climbing scene. \nThe film unfolds across some of the UK’s most amazing locations\, from the Cuillins to Pembroke\, from Sca Fell to Torridon via Yorkshire limestone. \nStrap in for another classic to rival anything in the BritRock canon. \nTotal running time – 100mins \nWhat do I need to know?\n\nWho is The Basement for?\nThe Basement isn’t just another youth centre – it’s the space you asked for\, designed by you\, built for you. The space is primarily for 13-18 year olds. Your basement. Your rules. Your future starts here.  We do from time to time host events for the whole community.\n\nI need dropping off in a car.

SUMMARY:Build A Band - Holiday Club (Afternoon)
DESCRIPTION:🎵 BUILD A BAND – 3 DAY HOLIDAY WORKSHOP 🎵\nFebruary Half Term – 17\,18\,19 Feb\nAges 11-18 | 3-Day Workshop | Choose either Morning or Afternoon courses\nMorning cohort : 10am-1pm Afternoon cohort : 1:30pm-4:30p\nBOOK HERE\nFrom Bedroom Musician to Band Member in Just 3 Days\nBoard of playing alone? Meet Your Future Bandmates!\n \nYou can play your instrument. You’ve learned some songs. You practice in your bedroom. But have you ever played in an actual band?\nThis is your chance to meet other young musicians\, form a band\, learn a song together\, and perform it live—all in just three days. \nWhat Happens Over the 3 Days? \n🤝 DAY 1: Meet Your Band (Tuesday) \nFIRST: Get to know everyone through icebreakers and a casual jam session. We’ll figure out who plays what and at what level\, then split into bands\, duos\, or trios based on your skills and musical tastes. \nTHEN: Your band chooses a song YOU want to learn (within your genre—rock\, pop\, indie\, whatever your groove is). Start working on it together and getting the basics down. \nThis is where the magic starts—strangers become bandmates. \n🎸 DAY 2: Make It Sound Good (Wednesday) \nPRACTICE\, practice\, practice. Get your song tight and performance-ready with guidance and support throughout the day. You’ll work on: \n\nPlaying together as a unit\nTiming and dynamics\nBand communication\nMaking it sound polished\n\nIf your band nails the song early? Great—choose another one and keep the momentum going! \n🌟 DAY 3: Show Time (Thursday) \nFIRST: Final rehearsal to polish your performance. \nTHEN: Sound check\, stage setup\, then it’s time to perform your song(s) to parents\, friends\, and family. Show them what you’ve accomplished in just three days. \nFrom “nice to meet you” to “playing live together” in three fun sessions. \nIs This For Me? \n✓ Perfect If You: \n\nCan already play your instrument at a basic level\nHave your own instrument (and amp if needed) – Talk to use if you need an instrument to take part\, we will see if we can help.\nPractice at home but have never been in a band\nWant to meet other young musicians your age\nAre aged 11-18\nAre ready to commit to all 3 half days\n\n✓ What Parents Should Know: \n\nStructured\, supervised workshop with experienced guidance\nTeaches collaboration\, commitment\, and confidence\nSafe environment for teens to develop social and musical skills\nAffordable at just £15 per session (£45 for 3 half days)\nCulminates in a real performance opportunity\nShort break factored in midway through the session\, bring a snack and water bottle. \n\nWhat You’ll Need to Bring \n🎸 Your own instrument\n🔌 Your amp (if you play electric guitar/bass)\n🎒 A snack and drinks bottle\, we have a top-up water station\n💪 Enthusiasm and commitment for all 3 sessions \nIt’s best if you bring your own gear\, which you will use at your own risk.
