Who are Social Sport?
Social Sport was set up to face two main challenges in cities like Cambridge:
- Limited opportunities for those moving here to meet new people and socialise genuinely.
- Lack of casual sports clubs for young professionals.
We started with our New Sport Every Week session, voted for by people in our community. Since then, we have played over 18 different sports, and play 7 weekly, all of which were set up based on feedback from those who join our events!
Please note this session is popular and has a set number of places. If you do not secure your place prior to attending and the event is full you will not be able to play.

Come rock climbing with Climbridge, the newest climbing club in Cambridge!
All abilities are welcome! The walls are covered in routes suitable for complete beginners up to very experienced climbers, and we have regular climbers across the range! The Perse climbing wall includes both bouldering and roped climbing routes. Most often, we're around 5~10 regulars, and once most have arrived we then tend to split into smaller groups!
We'll meet inside - look for T-shirts with the Climbridge logo on or ask the staff and they will introduce you to us!
One-off entry is £13.50 (£16.00 for the induction). Shoe and harness hire is also available.
Climbers need to book a slot in advance (Please make sure to book for an induction session if it is your first time joining): Book a slot
