Redpoint Worcester

Climbing in the Old Railway Yard

Redpoint Worcester is an independent indoor climbing centre in a brick railway building on Midland Road, close to Worcester Shrub Hill station. It opened about ten years ago and is marking its tenth anniversary in 2026.

The climbing

• Roped area: around 1,000 m² of walls with 45 top-ropes and more than 135 top-rope routes, auto-belays, and over 150 lead routes from 3+ to 7c, on slabs, overhangs and even a crack. The tallest routes reach 14 metres.
• Bouldering: a 500 m² area with more than 150 problems across a wide spread of grades, an archway, a top-out boulder and plenty of angles.
• A MoonBoard for training.

Visiting

• You can climb without registering, or pay a £9.50 annual registration for cheaper entry. New boulderers watch an induction video and sign a risk form on arrival, so allow extra time on a first visit.
• Shoes, harnesses, chalk bags and belay devices can be hired; helmets are free.
• Boof's Café on the mezzanine overlooks the centre and serves hot and cold food and coffee.
• Students pay £8 all day on Wednesdays, with free kit hire.

Courses and clubs

The centre runs taster sessions, an adult beginners' course, learn-to-lead courses and private coaching, plus kids' clubs from toddlers upwards (Little Monkeys, Rock Monkeys, Lead Monkeys and more), holiday and after-school clubs, home-schooler sessions, NICAS awards and birthday parties. Rooms can be hired for groups.
