  • Briefing on skydiving techniques by fully qualified instructors
  • Jump from 10,000 feet harnessed to an expert instructor
  • Freefall for 30 mind-blowing seconds
  • Your instructor opens the chute, and you float back down to earth
  • Just. Completely. Unbelievable.

Throwing yourself out of a plane at 10,000 feet might be considered utter madness. But if close friends start wondering aloud about your sanity (or the contents of your will), you can reassure them that you'll be attached (literally) to an expert instructor and that, frankly, you're in for an experience so exhilarating that you'll probably never stop talking about it. Your experience begins with a thorough briefing on skydiving and landing techniques, before you go up in the plane. You'll be securely harnessed to your instructor, who will help you jump from the plane (or at least help you fall with style). You'll get about 30 seconds of freefall, which is so completely incredible there's no point in us trying to describe it. Then your instructor will open the parachute and control your descent while you admire the view and try to come to terms with the adrenaline rush. Mind blowing.

Brigg, Lincolnshire; Swindon, Wiltshire; Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

More information

Participant Guidelines: Maximum weight limits vary by venue, from 13 to 16 stone. Minimum age is 16. If you're over 39 you'll need a signed doctor's certificate. You need to be reasonably fit and you'll be asked to complete a full medical declaration before taking part.
Weather: Jumping is always subject to weather conditions and cancellations for this reason are made with your safety in mind. It is crucial that you call the venue before you leave on the morning of your jump to check on weather conditions.
Duration: Duration is dependent on factors like the weather and the number of participants on the day. As a guide, your training and jump will take around an hour, but you may be at the venue for much of the day.
Numbers On Day: Your training might be shared, your jump will be one-to-one with a fully qualified skydiver.
Spectators: Spectators are welcome. A camera and binoculars will come in handy.
Dress Code: Dress warmly and comfortably, wear trainers and bring a sweater as it can get cold on the airfield.
Availability: Most venues operate on Saturdays and Sundays and some operate on selected weekdays. The main season is from March to October. Please note that weekends are particularly busy and should be booked several weeks in advance.
Other Info: Most venues operate jumps on a first-come, first-served basis on the day. You'll usually have the chance to buy a video of your jump for an additional cost on the day.
