More Than Just a Thrill Ride
Skydiving isn’t just a rush of adrenaline. it’s a complete sensory overload. Imagine this: you’re strapped to an experienced instructor, hurtling towards the earth at mind-blowing speeds. The wind roars in your ears, the world shrinks below, and for a moment, you’re truly free.
It’s more than just a roller coaster drop or a bridge’s fleeting thrill. It’s a rush of exhilaration, a moment of pure freedom, and a breathtaking panorama spread out beneath you. And if you capture it on video, you get to relive the magic, plus see the awestruck look on your own face!
So, skip the comparisons to amusement park rides. Skydiving is a league of its own, an experience that leaves you breathless and wanting more.

The BEST experience at Tilstock Freefall Club! INCREDIBLE staff. - I attended Tilstock Freefall Club on 8th November 2025 by myself, to do a tandem skydive for the MIND charity. It was my first ever skydive, so I was unfamiliar... read more with the process! I think I was the only person there alone, but the staff made me feel so welcome & comfortable! I also want to mention, my skydive was originally scheduled for an earlier date, but due to unforeseen circumstances involving a sudden family illness, I asked to rearrange to a later date. Not only did the staff at Tilstock Freefall Club completely understand & sympathise, they were happy to put my jump on hold & advised me to call them to reschedule the date when I’m ready to do so, free of charge! For this, I’m most grateful. Thank you for your kindness & understanding.
After arriving at the airfield, the lovely staff at reception checked me in & directed me to a room where I watched a 6-minute debrief video. I was asked by the staff on reception if I’d eaten that morning, prompting me to do so before my jump. There was a breakfast van outside where I got some toast & a coffee (they accept card payments), I’m not usually much of a breakfast person but I’m so glad the staff encouraged me to eat something as this really helped to keep my stomach settled during the jump.
After approximately 60-90 minutes, my name was called on the Tanoy, I was able to leave my personal belongings at reception & I went to meet my Tandem instructor called Hans, & my cameraflyer called Wilko. Both were so welcoming, friendly, & down to earth; they chatted to me as if they already knew me, which made me feel so comfortable. Hans got me into a jumpsuit, fitted my harness, lent me some gloves as I’d forgotten to bring my own, & we practiced the positions I’d need to do for the jump. The process was very straightforward, easy to understand, & thorough, with lots of harness checks along the way. I was extremely impressed with the cameraflyer Wilko; I paid £150 for a video & photos, but I assumed the video would only be of the actual jump itself, when actually, Wilko did a little interview of me prior to the jump, got footage of me boarding the plane, sat on the plane, the jump itself, & my landing, followed by a little debrief chat after the jump. I’m shocked at how amazing the video & photos are, the quality is incredible & they are definitely worth the price I paid! I was also surprised to see they were sat in my email inbox by the time I’d arrived home 1 hour later! So quick!!
Hans & Wilko regularly checked in with me throughout, asking how I was feeling, if I was feeling nervous yet, or if I had any questions. They were the friendliest people I’ve probably ever met! I especially loved how it felt like I was with a group of mates - the staff all fist bump, high five, & hug each other, also doing so with customers like myself which personally made me feel included, like I was part of a team! This was a lovely touch & created a comfortable atmosphere, especially considering I was there on my own.
I thought my nerves would kick in once I was on the edge of the plane about to jump out, but it happens so quickly & I was too focused on smiling at the camera & maintaining my exit position, which were great distractions! I didn’t feel unsafe or uncertain at any point, I immediately knew I was in good hands. I arrived at the Freefall Club at 10:30, & left at 13:15, so I was only there for less than 3 hours in total!
Overall, I would highly recommend skydiving with Tilstock Freefall Club, this was the best experience of my life and I WILL be skydiving here again. I hope to see you guys again next year!!
Lastly to all the staff, especially Hans & Wilko, thank you so much. You made my experience the best it could possibly be. ❤️

The most incredible experience! - I booked a Charity Skydive through Skyline, who paired me with Tilstock Freefall Club for my Big Leap, raising money in memory of my Dad who passed away from MS... read more in 2005.
Communication was really clear and straightforward in the lead-up to the jump. On arrival, the team at Tilstock were so warm and friendly - there was a real community atmosphere and I felt totally at ease. I was in one of the last groups of the day, but the sunshine and good vibes meant my family and I had a lovely time just hanging out on the picnic benches near the hangar, watching the other groups go up and seeing how buzzing they were when they made it back.
The jump itself was the most incredible experience. I felt particularly emotional as my Dad was a Formation Skydiver back in the 80s, so my jump was a tribute to him in more ways than one. My tandem instructor Ed was brilliant, really funny and kind. Shout out to Wilko too, who was our camera guy. The freefall was amazing, I also got to steer the canopy and do a few loops.
I would 100% recommend Tilstock for anyone looking to jump. I had such a brilliant time, I've even been looking at doing the training to dive solo!
Thanks so much to everyone at Tilstock, hopefully see you again soon!

The experience of a life time! - I really dont know where to begin! I'm still trying to find the words to describe how amazing the experience was! From booking my jump, to leaving the airfield, the... read more experience was superb. Booking was super easy, ans all the information needed was accessible and clear. Communication from Tilstock Skydive was also fantastic, keeping me in the loop throughout, and getting excited for my jump.
When we arrived, everyone was so friendly and put me at ease - I was a little nervous, but only because it was my first time and didn't know what to expect. I was soon trained, kitted up and met my instructor and camera man who made me even more at ease, thank you Chas and Zane!
They were both so excited for me, and as we left the aircraft, I just knew I'd be well looked after. Zane got some amazing footage through the entire jump, and after the parachute opened, Chas talked me through everything. He made it more fun by putting us in a spin and showing his expert flying skills.
As soon as we touched down, I wanted to go back up and do it again, it was an instant buzz, and I cant wait to return. The team back at the hut helped me out of my harness and body suit, and we're telling me more about skydiving opportunities and courses available, which is incredibly tempting.
All the way home, and even 24 later, I'm still beaming from ear to ear, telling everyone about my experience. I really cant thank the entire team enough for creating lifelong memories, helping me tick this off my bucket list, and inspiring me to return!

BEST DAY EVER! - If I could rate higher I would, this was the most incredible experience of my life! From start to finish I felt comfortable and prepared for what I was signing... read more up for, the energy from the team was great, I felt so hyped up! From the front desk staff, the safety briefing staff, the mini bus drivers to the skydiving team, I was always receiving great energy and a huge smile. I couldn't have asked for a better day and I can't thank you all enough! The only downfall being no one prepared me for the adrenaline plummet on the way home, all I wanted to do was do a U-turn to go back and do it again!
PS. Special shout out to Dave, my tandem instructor (coolest guy ever!!) and Jacob, my extremely talented camera man, thank you for capturing everything perfectly!
