Swallows Leisure Centre in Sittingbourne will open Family Adventure Zone on July 8

Kent's latest clip n climb attraction is now open

Swallows Leisure Centre in Sittingbourne says its new indoor climbing attraction and soft play centre will be welcoming visitors from July 8 - just in time for the school holidays.

The Family Adventure Zone will also include a new cafe and be able to offer birthday parties.

Families can look forward to 13 climbing walls provided by Clip 'n Climb, which also has an attraction in Tonbridge and recently opened a similar experience at Dover Leisure Centre. Inside the same large sports hall will also be soft play facilities suitable for children aged up to 10 which come complete with a sensory zone and overhead football pitch

The new attraction will have its own entrance - reached from the Wyvern end of the leisure centre, opposite Sittingbourne police station.

The online booking system for clip 'n climb sessions has already opened.

Sessions last one hour - made up of a 20 minute safety briefing followed by a 40 minute climb - and cost £9.95. Sessions, available slots, and reservations can be made here.

Work across Swallows Leisure Centre has cost more than £2.5 million and also includes a refurbished gym, new roof for the swimming pool and a fresh cafe for the reception area.

Families wishing to keep up-to-date with progress can follow the leisure centre's facebook page or visit www.swaleleisure.com/SWALLOWS. Alternatively inquires can be made on 01795 420420.
