We're back. Blokfest 2026/27 is go.


Five epic venues. Five huge bouldering festivals. One massive season. Save the dates now — tickets go on sale in October.


Blokfest is back for another season of epic route setting, fully inclusive climbing and that unmistakable Blokfest party atmosphere. Juniors, seniors and masters. First-time climbers and seasoned crushers. Everybody climbing, everybody getting involved, everybody having a bloody good time on the boulders.


Expect live DJs, giveaways galore, the world's best climbing holds, an incredible climbing community and the full Blokfest finals show.


And this year we're taking it to five absolute bangers.


Round 1 — Saturday 14 November 2026 — Flashpoint Easton, Bristol

Bristol baby, we're back. We're kicking off the season at the legendary Flashpoint Easton — formerly BLOC Climbing — almost ten years since Blokfest last rolled into this venue. The Bristol climbing scene is an absolute banger and we cannot think of a better place to launch the season.


Round 2 — Saturday 12 December 2026 — The Castle, London

A Christmas cracker at The Castle. One of Blokfest's true legendary venues is back on the calendar, complete with a new-look ground floor bouldering area, less stairs and an enormous vibe. And obviously — the legendary, one-for-the-history-books Castle Christmas afterparty.


Round 3 — Saturday 6 February 2027 — Mile End, London

Mile End. Does it get any more legit than this? One of the most iconic climbing walls in the country and one of the spiritual homes of Blokfest. Plus the Rock On Super Sale. Be there.


Round 4 — Saturday 27 February 2027 — Rainbow Rocket, Cambridge

After an incredible Blokfest debut as last season's opener, we're heading back to Cambridge. Rainbow Rocket might just be one of the best new climbing venues built in this country for years — and we cannot wait to get our hands on those walls again.


Round 5 — Saturday 20 March 2027 — Parthian Southampton

The classic finale. For the last three seasons, Southampton has given us the perfect way to finish Blokfest. Huge crowds. Huge energy. Huge finals. So why mess with a good thing? Parthian Southampton, we're coming back.


Five rounds. Five cities. One massive Blokfest season.


Tickets on sale October. Follow @blokfestuk so you don't miss the drop.

Round 4 of Blokfest lands at Rockstar Swindon on Saturday February 28th — and this one is set to be special. With huge walls built for big moments, a live DJ from the Black Tie DJs crew, and 25 brand-new blocs per category set with the world's best holds, it's shaping up to be an unforgettable day on the mats.


We've got U16 (nearly sold out), 16–17 and 18+ categories available, including Paraclimbing, Masters, Seniors and Gender Inclusive — all delivered in the low-pressure, high-energy community atmosphere Blokfest is known for.

The first event at the incredible Parthian Climbing Wandsworth venue is set to be a total banger. We have packed an insane amount of new holds, DJ equipment and the usual Blokfest goodies ready to get season 10 off with a bang. We have some tickets left for Junior categories on the Saturday and adults on the Sunday.


Come and join us to make the season launch event truly epic!


This year we start things a little differently than before by splitting the first event at Parthian Wandsworth over a full weekend.


On Saturday 18th November to get more climbers able to attend the event we have created two sessions per day. Each session on Saturday is for any of the under-16 age groups (youth E, D, C & B) so you can stick with your friends/ squads and climb in the same session.


You can choose to enter either the 11 a.m. session or the 2:30 p.m. session. The boulders will be the same.


A full Youth podium will happen at the end of the second session for the day's winners but a small ceremony for the session winners will also take place at the end of each session.


On Sunday 19th November, climbers can choose to enter either the 11 am session or the 2:30 pm session. The boulders are the same and the finalists will be taken from the top 5 scoring climbers from either session 1 or 2.


We are so excited to have Parthian Wandsworth as our opening event. After round 1 we go back to our normal 1 day events.

See you there. So psyched!
