A Swedish indoor climbing and adventure operator is set to open at Brightwells in Farnham in 2027, bringing another family attraction to the town centre.

Mono Loco, based in Falun, Sweden, has secured a unit between The Little Gym and Pirates Landing, creating a growing hub for active leisure at the development.

The company specialises in climbing and adventure activities for all ages and abilities, from toddlers and families to beginners and experienced climbers.

Its existing venue in Falun offers family climbing, courses, adult training sessions and activities for schools and organisations.

Although the facilities planned for Farnham have yet to be confirmed, the new venue is expected to broaden Brightwells' leisure offering and attract more families into the town centre.

The announcement marks another step forward for Brightwells, which endured a slow start following its long-awaited opening.

The arrival of Mono Loco will bring three family-focused attractions together in one part of the development, offering visitors a choice of activities under one roof.

Cllr Natalie Bramhall, representing Surrey County Council, welcomed the announcement.

She said: "We are delighted to welcome Mono Loco to Brightwells. This exciting new leisure destination will provide opportunities for residents and visitors to be active, connect with others, and enjoy shared experiences. It further strengthens Brightwells' offer and supports the continued success of Farnham town centre."

Fit-out work is expected to begin shortly, with the venue scheduled to open in 2027. An exact opening date has not yet been announced.
