The Ipswich Clip ’n Climb will see many firsts for the company, it will be the biggest centre of its type anywhere in the world, boasting 42 challenges and it will also have the highest wall and drop-slide in Europe, the all weather facility will allow visitors to indulge their passion for climbing all year round.

Clip ’n Climb Director, Mark Patterson said: “We are absolutely delighted to enter into this partnership with Paddy & Scotts – it really is the icing on the cake for an already very exciting project. There is a tremendous amount of synergy between these two brands and the relationship will help cement our bespoke centre as the flagship Clip ’n Climb in the UK and one of the very best in the world.”

The 106-cover Paddy & Scott’s fuelling station will be housed in a spacious, newly-renovated mezzanine overlooking the climbing area and will exclusively serve Paddy & Scotts artisan coffee, a range of smoothies, Tea Pigs tea and its latest product, Nitro Cold Brew, along with a delicious array of food including handmade pizzas.
