WEDNESDAYS · ST NIC’S · 19:00 — 22:00
A members‑run club for indoor and outdoor climbing, mountaineering and scrambling. Our members come from all over Warwickshire and beyond. Indoors on Wednesdays, outside most weekends.
CHAPTER 01 · WHO WE ARE
Warwick Climbing Club has been quietly running trips out of the Midlands since 1993. We’re a friendly, member‑led community of around a hundred people of every age and background. Some of us are trying climbing for the first time, some have thirty years of trad behind them, and all levels and styles are welcome: bouldering, sport, trad and mountaineering. Many of us love hiking, running, walking and mountain biking too.
Wednesday is club night. It starts at the St Nicholas Park leisure centre climbing wall from 19:00 to 22:00 — the wall sits inside the leisure centre but the club runs it, with top‑rope routes. Just tell reception you’re here for the climbing and they’ll let you through. From 21:30 we meet at the New Bowling Green for a drink and some gloriously exaggerated climbing stories. Couldn’t make it to climbing that evening? You can still come and join us for a drink and chat at the pub.
Aside from Wednesdays, the calendar runs almost weekly: gritstone weekends in the Peak, sea‑cliff trips to Pembroke and the Gower, a week on Skye, an autumn sport-climbing trip somewhere it’s still warm, a Cheese & Port trip for when the weather is awful, and an Annual Dinner to celebrate the year’s achievements.
Everyone is welcome here, whoever you are, and our members cover a broad range of ages. You don’t need to live in Warwickshire to join, and many members stay on after moving away. Newer climbers will find experienced members happy to belay, mentor, and pile your kit into the back of someone’s car. We have kit you can borrow if you’re trying climbing for the first time. We’re affiliated to the BMC and insured through them; we’re run by and for our members.

CHAPTER 03 · WHERE TO FIND US
Wednesdays · 19:00 — 22:00
Although the wall sits inside the leisure centre, we [the club] run it. Just ask at reception when you arrive — they’ll point you in the right direction. New faces always welcome.
St Nicholas Park Leisure Centre · Banbury Road · Warwick CV34 4QY
Wednesdays · from 21:30
The club pub. After the wall, members head straight here, and those who aren’t climbing that evening come along just for the pub — there are usually several of us there by 21:30. Best place to come and quiz us about the club without anyone hanging off a rope.
12 St Nicholas Church Street · Warwick CV34 4JD
Informal · arranged on WhatsApp
The Sports & Wellness Hub at the University of Warwick has a much bigger wall with lead, top-rope and bouldering. It’s not an official club venue, but club members are regularly found here on weekday evenings and on weekends when the weather’s ruled out the rock, typically arranged through our WhatsApp groups. You’ll need a separate membership at the University to climb here; club membership doesn’t cover it.
