Climb inside Alien Rock, a converted vaulted church in Newhaven with an unusual atmosphere. Work through top-rope and lead routes on varied walls, with helpful staff on hand if you're new to climbing.

📖

Full description

Alien Rock occupies a vaulted church building in Newhaven, giving its climbing walls an unusual setting. Reviewers rate the routes highly, noting a good mix of top-rope and lead climbs with features and angles closer to outdoor climbing than typical indoor walls.

First-time climbers say the staff made their introduction memorable. The venue runs kids' classes and competitions, and visitors mention that a ticket can be used at the sister Alien facility on the same day, which suits climbers wanting extra variety.

Love the staff, great climbing with features and angles, I got great information from Brandon. You can use the other alien facility in the same day free of charge if you got the power
