A dedicated Tunbridge Wells bouldering gym
Chimera is a bouldering-only centre, so the walls are lower, the floor is matted and you do not need ropes, a harness or a climbing partner. Colour-coded circuits give first-time visitors an obvious place to start, while coaching and longer class blocks provide a route beyond a one-off session.
Your first visit
Adults can register online and watch the induction video before climbing independently. If you would rather have someone introduce the movement and safety basics, the gym also offers a first-timer taster class. Climbing shoes are compulsory and can be hired at reception; current booking, youth and supervision rules should be checked with Chimera before travelling.
Getting there
The centre is on North Farm Road in High Brooms, around a five-minute walk from High Brooms station. The operator also lists free parking immediately outside the centre. Use the official website for live opening hours, prices, registration and class availability.
