We hope that you can join us at our Spectrum-dedicated session at Climb Quest, Milton Keynes.
Climb Quest is the fantastic sister venue of our good friends Clip n Climb Cambridge and is where climbing centre meets theme park, and you can experience 20 unique climbing challenges that twist, turn, light and excite. The venue is suitable for everyone from 4 years old upwards and is the ultimate fun and healthy activity for you to enjoy with your friends and family. The climbing walls are perfectly accompanied by the fantastic Stairway to Heaven and Vertical Drop challenges!
The climbing walls and challenges are up to 8-9m in height!!! Over 2m taller than the walls we use at Clip n Climb!
Smaller harnesses are also available for toddlers, as are cradles for those with significant physical disabilities. The venue has facilities for drinks and snacks and a fantastic upstairs viewing area.
It would be beneficial if you were aware of how to clip/unclip your child to a climbing wall, but this can be taught on the day. Please only request places if you are sure of your attendance.
We always contact every request once the event is processed and allocated, providing as much notice as we can to families. We initially confirm places and advise those on the waiting list by text message from our platform. We also issue a QR code to confirmed places, which is how you sign in with us on the day, around 24-48hrs ahead of the event/session. Please ensure you read the information below on our notifications and recommendations.
Session Summary
The session is scheduled for between 10 am and 11 am.
You will need to be at the venue just before 10 am on the day; no transport is provided to the venue. Tuition on the centre, its facilities and climbing safety is provided at each session’s start. There are facilities at the venue to get drinks and snacks also.
We can take a maximum of 24 climbers per session, and our focus is purely on children climbing at this stage in the first instance. Spectators attending can join their children in the climbing area to watch and support them.
Please note that place requests are also limited to one spectator per child.
Our climbing sessions always receive a high amount of requests, and we always rotate attendance at the sessions to ensure as many families as possible have the chance to attend over time. There is always a waiting list for these sessions, and changes can occur, meaning places become available, sometimes at very short notice.
Climb Quest is very easy to find and located on the Kingston Centre retail park in Milton Keynes alongside the likes of Costa, McDonald’s, Subway, Home Bargains, Tesco, Boots, Nando’s, Clarks and Subway to name but a few, as well as just 10mins from IKEA. As a guideline for anyone Cambridge-based, an approximate travel duration to the venue is 1hr.
Our Place Request Process
- Once place requests are checked and processed, should we be able to confirm places for you, you will be notified in the first instance by text message. Ensure you have given us the correct number!
- We recommend saving the numbers 07822 013562 (WhatsApp) and our Text Alert number 07441 446910 to your phone for our notifications. We also send messages from a dedicated Spectrum-named service.
- Your QR code (e-ticket) for the event (how you sign in with us) is typically sent within the 24 hours before the session. This also includes a final reminder of the notes and timings from this page.
Non-Payment, Non-Cancellation & Non-Attendance
We totally appreciate that plans can change, health can change, emergencies can happen, and life can get in the way when you least expect it to, especially as parents, carers and guardians of children with additional needs, but we cannot emphasise enough how important it is to stay in touch with the team when it comes to bookings.
We understand that such things can happen and that they can definitely be hard to talk about at times, we always try to help the families we support as much as we can. Sometimes, this sadly just won’t be possible, but we will certainly try if there is a path to do so. All we ask is that you stay in touch and just be honest with us, it is so much easier to help you this way.
Please do bear in mind that non-payment of invoices, not showing for events you have been given places or not communicating with us about items, tickets etc we have purchased for you in a timely manner will have an adverse impact across the board. As a small children’s charity, we have to be incredibly careful with funds and items not being paid for, as it has a huge impact on us and will simply prevent future events from happening, as we are not able to absorb losses of that nature. It also prevents other families from attending, which they could have done if they had had enough notice to do so.
We leave any relevant payments for all events and sessions open as long as possible to help families, but at the same time, we have commitments and deadlines to the venues we work with, which we must adhere to, or lose such opportunities. Even for events that are free to you, the venue still has costs and staffing still has to be paid for!
Please remember that the following steps can occur if you don’t pay invoices or inform us.
- Any outstanding payments/non-attendances are very much at rish of impacting you.
- You can see your places cancelled for the event/session, and a cancellation notice will be sent to you.
- You will then no longer be able to access ANY of our events, sessions or the Max Card
- Any bookings for events in the future you are on with us will be immediately suspended.
- Your membership with us can be suspended or permanently revoked
- Spectrum reserves the right to pass outstanding invoices for commercial/legal collection, and additional charges can occur
- Additionally, Spectrum has a zero tolerance for any kind of behaviour/communication that is deemed to be rude/abusive – our team are also parents of children with additional needs and volunteer their time.
Please Stay In Touch!
As always if you have any questions about any aspect of of our events, the payment process, or cancellations email us at events@spectrum.org.uk and we will be happy to see where we can help!
Recommendation
If you are a Facebook user, we recommend joining our private members-only Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/spectrumcio – you will need your membership number with us (starts with the letters SC) after you request to join.
As well as general information, we post here when confirmations, QR codes, reminders and so forth are sent out, so you can be sure to check your email at the right times. This is helpful as many mail providers can filter such emails to junk and other areas, so you can be sure you don’t miss anything or lose your places if it doesn’t land in your main inbox directly.
Our Instagram & Facebook stories are also good places to get news in advance and see the different things we are working on behind the scenes. We also post images, reels and stories to Instagram of our visits to Climb Quest MK!
