Big Tree Climbing

Explore the garden from the tree tops with The Great Big Tree Climbing Co.

  • Booking essential

Using ropes and harnesses, ascend into the canopy of one of Sheffield Park's largest trees, and enjoy an exhilarating adventure at new heights that overlooks one of our great lakes.

During your climb, you will learn how to safely reach the top of giant trees and take in the views of the garden. You can hang out in the canopy or venture further out onto the branches if you're feeling brave, before returning safely to the ground.

This activity is suitable for ages 6 and up. Each session is run for up to 8 people, creating a unique and intimate experience. We encourage the whole family to participate, or feel free to watch and photograph that special moment of your child climbing high into the canopy of a tree for the first time.

Each ticket includes entry to the garden. Please arrive 10 minutes before your selected climb slot.

Each ticket admits one climber, and for any climber under 18 years old, they must be accompanied by an adult. No children may be left unsupervised during this session.
