Christmas is getting closer and we’re excited! The crew have decorated to their hearts content, and our Reception and Café area is looking incredibly festive 🎄
We’re super excited to celebrate our first festive season as Yellow Spider, and we hope you are too! Keep reading for our Christmas Opening Hours, Christmas Climbing Challenge (there’s prizes!) and some Christmas shopping ideas 🎁
Now, for the important stuff…
Christmas Opening Hours
We’re only closed for three days over the holidays, which means there’s plenty of time to squeeze a climb in!

Christmas Cracker Challenge!
This year, we wanted to do something special to say thank you to our customers for sticking with us throughout all of the changes and upgrades that we’ve introduced since joining the Spider Climbing family.
Introducing… the Yellow Spider Christmas Cracker Challenge!
We’ve set two brand new blocs this week, and tagged them with a Christmas Cracker. The challenge is simple:
- Find the Christmas Cracker blocs (there’s one for adults and one for kids)
- Video yourself climbing the entire bloc (you have to top it!) and post it on Instagram!
- Tag us in the video with @yellowspiderclimbing and #WeAreSpiderClimbers
We’ll pick a winner in the new year – so you MUST get that video posted and tagged on or before the 31st December! We’ve got two prizes to give away, so get posting!


Christmas Shopping at Yellow Spider
Yellow Spider wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the climbers to choose to climb our walls. As a result of this, we know climbers very well! If there’s a climber in your life who needs a Christmas gift, but you’ve got no idea what to get them – you’re in the right place! We’ve put together a mini gift guide for you here – and you can purchase all of the items listed here at Yellow Spider.
1 – Yellow Spider Merch
Yep, you read that correctly! We now have our very own branded clothing, meaning you can represent Yellow Spider all the time!

We have a great selection of adults and kids tees and hoodies in a bunch of different colours, so there’s plenty to choose from. We only have limited stock for over the Christmas period, so get it while you can!
2 – Gift Cards
Now gift cards are a great option for the climber who has everything already! Spider gift cards can be spent at any of our five sites (Yellow Spider – Sutton, Blue Spider – Guildford, White Spider – Surbiton, Red Spider – Fareham, Green Spider – Hereford) . Gift cards can be spent on entry, snacks and hot drinks in the café, on clothing or shoes, climbing accessories and coaching!
These are a great option – you can purchase a Gift Card (Min. Amount £5.00) online here or pop in to reception and purchase a physical one!

3 – Coaching
We also have a great selection of courses, coaching and tasters available here. Why not treat someone to a climbing experience instead of buying them a physical gift? Who knows, you might even introduce them to their favourite new sport! Find all of our coaching options here.
We’re so excited to see you all over the Christmas period, so do come down to say hello and have a climb!
