With 27 fantastic climbing walls, come and reach new heights at Rock Up Lakeside.
We can cater for all occasions, whether you’re celebrating a birthday, embarking on a corporate team building day or looking for something new and different for your family packed weekend then Rock Up is the place for you.



Rock Up Lakeside



Every peak is within reach if you keep on climbing! Come and challenge yourself at Rock Up Lakeside.

Our Lakeside climbing arena, located at the front of the popular Essex Lakeside shopping centre, has 27 different climbing walls with over 70 challenges, and a huge soft play zone, so there is something for everyone. Each one of our walls towers over an incredible 8 meters and has multiple different routes to its peak so you can climb again and again.

The best views come from the toughest climbs so, if you’re ready to scale the Checkerplate, scramble up the Pixatron and tackle the Treadmill Wall then visit our Lakeside centre – Book your tickets here.

Toddlers at Rock Up Lakeside



At Rock Up Lakeside we have dedicated Toddler Climb and Play sessions which are perfect for walkers up to the age of 4. We have 6 toddler climbing walls in our arena so they can challenge themselves to reach new heights.

Toddler climbing sessions are perfect for your little explorers with bundles of energy. After they have scaled the toddler climbing walls, there is also time for them to bundle into our soft play area for an energy buster.

Visit Soft Play at Rock Up Lakeside.


Our soft play area is perfect for those younger explorers who aren’t quite ready for the climbing arena just yet. If your little one is all about having fun and adventures or if you want to build their confidence, then Rock Up and play!

There is so much to explore in our soft play area – swings, slides and ball pools as well as obstacles to tackle by climbing under or over.

Don’t forget to visit our café which serves delicious hot drinks and refreshments for all spectators and visitors. Make Rock Up your basecamp for the day – pay once and you can come and go as often as you like Monday to Friday.
