Pop-up Parkour with Ascension
Leap, climb, and vault your way into a world of movement where creativity meets physical challenge.
Join us for a high-energy experience introducing you to the art of parkour and freerunning.
Across three interactive parkour stations, explore the fundamentals of climbing, vaulting and jumping, developing agility, confidence and coordination in a fun and supportive environment.
Guided by experienced, qualified coaches, each session blends skill-building with self-expression, encouraging every young person to move, play and discover their unique rhythm.
Need to know
This is a physical parkour workshop, which includes climbing, vaulting and jumping across platforms and climbing structures, guided by qualified coaches.
Please note that participating in parkour involves some physical risk. Our experienced coaching team works to ensure that all sessions are safe, well-structured, and enjoyable, helping participants build confidence while being mindful of the nature of the sport. Our priority is that every young person has a fun, engaging, and positive experience.
Please ensure your young person comes prepared with comfortable, supportive footwear – trainers only. For safety reasons, no clogs, sliders or sandals are permitted.
This is a drop-off session, for children to attend without their adult. They will be under the supervision of experienced practitioners and Southbank Centre staff. All parents or guardians will need to complete a consent and contact form before the workshop starts.
