The story
We didn't just join this industry.
We helped invent it.
Boulder & Cave is run by the original designer of the UK's first ever mobile caving experience. What started as a single trailer and a wild idea is now a small, expert crew delivering proper adventure to events across the country.

Where it started
One trailer. A blank workshop. A pretty stubborn idea.
Years ago we had a simple question: caving is one of the most thrilling things you can do — so why is it only available to people who live near a cave system? The answer, we decided, was to build one that could travel.
From scratch, in a workshop in the north of England, our founder designed and commissioned the first mobile caving trailer in the UK — a fully enclosed, two-level tunnel system with squeezes, sumps, stalactites and the head-torch-lit atmosphere of the real thing. Nothing like it existed. Today, every "mobile cave" you see in this country traces back to that original design.
The mobile bouldering wall came next — same thinking, different sport. Bring the experience to the people, run it properly, make it genuinely fun. That's still the brief today.
The team
Over 30 years of combined experience — and we're still excited every time we open the doors.
Our instructors and freelance outdoor staff are keen cavers, climbers and event professionals. Between us we've coached beginners and guided countless groups around our bouldering wall and through our mobile caving system — building not only confidence and ability, but a practical skillset and a can-do attitude that stays with people long after the event is over.
Every booking is staffed by trained supervisors — never agency fillers. The same people who build and maintain the kit are the ones running it on the day.
Who we work with
15+ years pitching up everywhere from village greens to city centres.
Based in the South West and travelling UK-wide, we've delivered for a huge range of clients — and each one expects something slightly different. We've done the lot.

PE enrichment days, end-of-term events, sports weeks and residentials.
Town & parish councils
Summer fetes, jubilees, switch-ons and family fun days on the green.

Festivals & shows
Multi-day events where we keep running from gates open to last call.

Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries — the ones that need a proper talking point.
How we work
Built by makers. Run by experts. Insured to the hilt.

Every bolt, hold and tunnel section was designed in-house. If anything ever needs adjusting, we don't wait on a supplier — we sort it.
In-house trained staff
In-house trained climbing instructors, cave supervisors and event-experienced crew. Full briefings, full eyes on the activity, no shortcuts.
Fully insured & risk-assessed
Public liability cover, written risk assessments and method statements for every booking. Send them to your venue — they'll be happy.
