If you are looking for an inclusive LGBTQ+ space to try outdoor activities then this is for you!

QOC is a safe space run by members of the community, a chance to socialise and try something new.

Introduction to ropes night at The Tower at Leicester Leys Leisure Centre. This session is on a MONDAY and not our usual Thursday.

This has been requested a few times and is finally happening! This session will include learning how to belay, climbing knots, fitting personal equipment safely  and building confidence on the wall. 

It is possible to fit all of that into two hours, however, depending on the group we may choose to focus on just one or two things - we can just see how it goes! They’ll be opportunity to get involved with lots of climbing but equally you could come along and learn all the technical skills whilst keeping both feet on the ground.

All equipment will be provided, though if you do have your own feel free to bring anything along with you. There will be climbing shoes you can borrow also. Bring a bottle of water, snack and a warm jumper - climbing walls are chilly!

The Leisure Centre has toilets and changing rooms & facilities to fill up water bottles. The centre and wall are both wheelchair accessible, get in touch beforehand to discuss any access needs.

There’s a few food places within a 5 minute walk if you need fuel before/after, and you’ll find a big main car park right outside. Sometimes there is also space along the road to the left of the leisure centre.

We will meet in the reception of the Leisure Centre, give the QOC instagram account a message if you’re struggling to get there and we’ll try and help. Please don’t turn up to LOPC we won’t be there!

This session has a slightly increased cost of £12 per person and is limited to 10 spaces.

Minimum age 18.
