Testimonials - Parties

“Richard and Kat at Geckos climbing gave my 10 year old daughter one of the best birthday parties she’s ever had. All the children had a fantastic time, having fun while challenging themselves mentally and physically and learning new skills. The tuition was expert, professional, reassuring, and confident - all done intelligently and with great expertise with the children. The experience of climbing to the top of some very high walls was unforgettable and even those who didn’t think they could do it, found themselves achieving things way beyond their dreams. I would thoroughly recommend this as a way to celebrate your child’s birthday.”
Laura
Thanks for giving Becky and her friends your expert tuition and encouragement. They all really enjoyed it and said they would do it again.
Virginia
Just to let you know that the children had a great time on Saturday! They are all talking about it and very enthusiastic with rock climbing!
Teresa
“We just wanted to say thank you for a brilliant Geckos climbing party. My son (11) and his friends had the most fun bouldering and top-roping all round the Castle. (It was “totally sick”, apparently!) Rich and Julie, the instructors, hit exactly the right combination of friendly banter and wise instructions, and very cleverly managed to make it equally enjoyable and challenging for those who had climbed before and those who hadn’t. Best of all, we got to sit in the café and watch them all having a blast, safe in the knowledge that we’d be collecting a band of happily exhausted boys at the end. Result!”

Just a quick note to say a huge ‘thank you’ to you and your outfit- in particular our two instructors. They had a really great way with my daughter and her five friends who absolutely loved their session on Saturday. Watched the video of it when we got home which had them all squealing, reliving their slab moments. Terrific fun and v well organised. The kids are all now hooked on climbing...
Jerome
Just a quick note to thank you very much for Izzie‘s party/climbing session last week. She and her friends had a great time. We were very impressed by the instruction you offered them and by the amount they achieved in the session.
Helen
“Bella had a great 9th birthday party with her friends. I can’t thank the instructor Richard enough for making her day so enjoyable.”
David Price
Just wanted to thank you again for Saturday, Sam and his friends had a great time. Sam and James had such a good time they want to come to the 3 day course first week in the Easter holidays.
Maureen
I just wanted to thank you for the birthday party you did for our son, Alexander, on Saturday. The boys (and my daughter!) thoroughly enjoyed themselves. My husband and I were impressed by the level of professionalism and enthusiasm you had with all of the children. You encouraged them to push themselves in a safe, challenging environment. It was a day they will all remember. The only problem we have is that my son is completely “hooked” now and can’t wait to go again! Thanks again for a great day. I will definitely recommend you for future reference.
Margaret-Ann
Thank you very much for a successful party. It went down really well and the birthday boy and his Dad are now hooked. They are talking about doing it seriously now on a regular basis.
