Leading commercial property consultancy Hartnell Taylor Cook is pleased to announce the successful letting of a prime 25,000 sq. ft. retail unit on Union Street, Bristol, to The Climbing Hangar.
Previously occupied by Wilko, the space will be repurposed into a state-of-the-art indoor climbing facility situated in the heart of central Bristol, further diversifying the city’s leisure offering.
Acting on behalf of landlord AEW, Hartnell Taylor Cook, alongside joint agents Arc Retail, have successfully secured a letting to The Climbing Hangar. This deal marks a significant step in The Climbing Hangar’s continued UK expansion and further strengthens its presence in Bristol.
The new indoor climbing venue is scheduled to open late summer 2025. It will feature high-quality bouldering facilities, expert coaching and a dynamic social space designed to welcome climbers of all levels.
The Climbing Hangar’s latest venue will reinforce Bristol’s reputation as a hub for outdoor and adventure sports enthusiasts, offering a unique and accessible space for both beginners and seasoned climbers alike.
Commenting on the letting, Richard Saunders, Partner at Hartnell Taylor Cook said “We are delighted to have secured The Climbing Hangar for this significant city-centre site.
