SOCIAL CLIMBING
Alongside our coaching sessions for adults and juniors, we have a range of social sessions because we firmly believe that climbing is for everyone, and is better shared with friends!
That’s why we have a range of instructor-led social sessions that are free with entry to anyone who may want to join. From making new friends and belay partners to the simplicity of being social, join us for a range of social climbing community sessions.
Although instructor-led, these sessions are sociable and informal. If you’d like to learn the skills to be signed off to safely climb unsupervised in our centre, follow the Classes link below.
If you’ve not been before, please check our Registrations page as all participants at BIG Depot Manchester require a completed registration form.

Women’s Night Social Climbing
A social session for women and identifyers of all abilities who want to climb and socialise together.
This is a coach-led climbing session, with a focus on female climbing styles in lead climbing.
As a social session, we encourage you to arrive up to 20 minutes before the start of the session to enjoy a free tea or coffee and get to know an awesome community of like-minded, strong women who are keen to challenge gravity.
Mondays from 7:30pm
Belay Buddies
The thing with roped climbing, is you need a partner! Enter Belay Buddies, our belaytionship building social to help you find more people to hold a rope and do some lead climbing with.
As with all of our social sessions, we’ll kick things off with a brew (on us) for a chin-wag before we head out onto the walls to climb as a social group, led by one of our instructors who will be on hand to offer tips and tricks along the way.
These socials will take place weekly, day and time coming soon.
Thursdays from 7:30pm
LGBTQ+ Night
Our LGBTQ+ Sessions is a space for those who want to enjoy an encouraging environment with one of our instructors on hand to provide some informal coaching for indoor rock climbing, from lead climbing to bouldering.
As with all of our social sessions, we encourage you to arrive a little early to the session and enjoy a sociable chat/meet-and-greet with a free brew in the cafe before we start.
This event will take place weekly, day and time coming soon.
Fridays from 7:30pm
Quiet Social
A quiet social for all who would like to join, who prefer to be in a quieter environment. Music volume will be turned down, and the session will be organised during a typically quieter time for the centre.
Join us for a FREE-with-entry, 1-hour social boulder with like-minded souls. As with all of our socials, we meet for an icebreaker and a brew before we get started.
