About us 

We opened Redpoint in 2013 as a passionate group of climbers who want to pass on this love to those in Bristol and the surrounding area. Although climbing remains our specialist product, we have since expanded into another two major venues and diversified the activities we offer enabling the whole family to take part. Each centre also has a cafe which serves fresh and local food and drinks to our whole range of customers, this helps us to compliment the community feel of our centres which is so important to us.

Why work for us?

This is an opportunity to bring your expertise and have ownership of a project which will be varied and exciting.

We devote a lot of time and care to supporting our staff and providing opportunities whenever we can to create an environment which is enjoyable to both work and play in – you would be joining the family!
