We all thrive when we overcome new challenges, achieve under pressure and master new skills. This is our everyday at The Castle and our Corporate Programmes have been crafted to help you and your team bring these experiences from the wall, back to your workplace.
Join us for a walk around the Castle
Our climbing centre offers a unique facility for both personal and professional development as well as being a fun and vibrant place to be. Over the last thirty years, climbers at The Castle have pushed past their own personal limitations, discovered their own capabilities, found new strengths and we have celebrated with them along the way. Now we want to help teams and businesses achieve the same.
We have four main focus areas to our Corporate Programmes and which is most suitable for you can be discussed at the programme planning stage. All of our programmes are tailored to our clients' specific needs and circumstances. See the links below to get an idea of the kind of content we deliver on each.
The Castle is an iconic London landmark and one of Europe’s largest independent climbing facilities. Originally a Victorian pumping station, The Castle has been reimagined as a world-class climbing centre, believe it when you see it! With a unique heritage and expert facilitators, we provide both the environment and the expertise for hugely engaging and fun activities to make the learning stick. We boast 450 climbing routes spread across four floors, 330 bouldering circuits and an outdoor area with our three giant manmade boulders. At The Castle we also provide a gym and training area and a yoga and pilates studio and these are all on offer when planning and creating our bespoke Corporate Programmes.
We work with confidence building, nationally qualified instructors trained across all climbing disciplines, including bouldering, lead climbing, top-rope, and adaptive climbing. They provide professional guidance for all skill levels, ensuring safety while helping climbers progress with confidence.
Our qualified facilitators and executive coaches are experts in organisational development, EDI (Equity, Diversity & Inclusion), early careers, team dynamics, and leadership. Our courses apply proven learning and development theories—such as Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle, Whitmores GROW model, Tuckman’s Team Development Model, and Hersey & Blanchard’s Situational Leadership.
