Thamesmead's indoor climbing wall The cAve will be extending their opening hours to 10:00-19:00, Monday-Friday throughout August, so more people have the chance to climb.

The cAve's Manager Ann Beard said: “The school holidays always prove difficult for parents in thinking of new activities for their children to do.

“The cAve indoor climbing wall has been operating for six years. We provide a fun and safe environment for people of all ages aged 4 and above of all abilities. Everyone is welcome.

“We offer real value-for-money with climbs starting from as little as £4.50. It's your choice, you can climb as an individual, a family or part of a group - we even do birthday parties!”
