GLOW 2027: climbing and bouldering in the dark
19 December to 26 February | at all our locations
Lights off. GLOW ON!
GLOW, our yearly party in the dark, is back! Over the coming months our climbing gyms go dark again!
On this special evening, our climbing and bouldering halls are completely blacked out and the walls come to life with spectacular GLOW Art. Neon tape, blacklights and glow effects create a unique climbing experience you won't forget anytime soon. Below you'll find when your gym goes dark.
What to expect
You climb and boulder in a gym you know, but it looks completely different. On top of that, every location has its own programme. Depending on the location, this is what's on:
- Costume Contest: put on your brightest GLOW outfit for a chance to win a prize.
- GLOW Quest: challenges spread across the gym, with prizes for those who complete them.
- Music: a DJ/live music.
- Extras: A light show and afterparty.
Exactly what's happening at your location will soon be in our newsletter, on our socials and at your location itself.

Good to know
- A headlamp is mandatory. Bring one and wear it while climbing and bouldering. Without one, you won't see your next hold in the dark.
- Want to climb on a rope? You'll need a Dutch climbing proficiency certificate (KVB). For bouldering you don't.
- Watch where you walk and keep an eye on the climbers and boulderers around you.
- Follow the instructions of our staff.
- Be careful with the GLOW Art and touch the tape as little as possible.

Want to help with the taping?
We make the GLOW Art on the walls ourselves, together with volunteers. In the days before GLOW we tape up the gym around a theme each location chooses itself. Want to help out? Send an email to your location and join the GLOW Art team. You'll find the email address on the location page.
