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.

Amazing - I took part in the Midlands air ambulance tandem skydive to raise funds for them after they attempted to save my dad's life in June 2025. Unfortunately my dad couldn't... read more be saved but I felt I needed to give back. The location was Tilstock skydive and from the minute I arrived I felt welcome. The staff are the friendliest bunch you could wish to meet and made the experience so much fun but also very safe and easy. My tandem partner was Hans and he was so friendly and made me feel safe from the start. I had photos and a video by Wilko who also put me at ease and made the jump not only enjoyable but also memorable. I highly recommend Tilstock skydive for an experience of a lifetime!

A truly amazing experience, and one I will never forget. - Taking part in a Free Fall Tandem skydive at Tilstock Skydive was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end. As Mayor of Telford and Wrekin, I took on this challenge... read more to raise awareness and support for two wonderful charities close to my heart—PODS (Parents Opening Doors) and Hillbrae Dog Rescue—alongside my friend Alex from TAARC (Telford African and Afro-Caribbean Centre).
From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel welcome, prepared, and completely at ease. The training was clear, engaging, and reassuring, giving us a solid understanding of what to expect and exactly what to do. A special mention must go to my instructor, affectionately known as “Soupey,” who was exceptional—professional, encouraging, and full of confidence that put me instantly at ease.
What surprised me most was how the experience felt: not a moment of fear, only pure excitement. The anticipation built into something truly exhilarating, and I never once doubted that I could do it. That speaks volumes about the professionalism and support of the whole crew.
This was more than just a skydive—it was a powerful, uplifting experience for great causes, shared with fantastic people. I would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat!

Great Company!! - Definitely 5 stars from me, couldn't fault anything or anyone. Everything was well run and the staff were very friendly and helpful as this can be a nerve racking experience... read more but they put everyone at ease by having a jokes, keeping things light, answering every question and also keeping you informed at every stage.
I also went for the video package and the guy that was filming me as awesome as well as the guy that was my tandem. I had the video of the jump within the hour and also purchased the photos a few hours later that evening and had then almost instantly so I have not only proof I did the jump but the memories.
If anyone is thinking of a Skydive then I'd highly recommend these guys. Awesome from start to finish!!

Dougie Mac charity skydive - WOW! What an absolutely epic experience!! You'd think a tandem freefall from up near 14000ft would be slightly off-putting, but the team looked after us every second - making sure... read more we knew we were in safe and careful hands and, above all, that we were going have a lot of fun! Also recommend paying the extra for the video - well worth it. Thanks to all the team at Skydive Tilstock for helping us raise over a grand for a great cause!

Most amazing experience of my life - I completed a charity tandem sky dive here, I have no words to describe how absolutely amazing this experience was. I am terrified of heights and i honestly did not... read more think i would be able to go through with it. That all changed the second i met my Tandem diver Dan, he was so incredible, he put me straight at ease. I couldn't of picked a better person to jump with- he met my energy level and just made the whole experience the best experience of my life. He talked me through every step and made me feel safe. (I can smell snow)
The flight up, the views were just beautiful and the memory of going higher and higher in the plane all whilst eating a biscuit will stay with me always. The jump itself was the most freeing experience, like i said there are just no words to describe how it made me feel. I am so glad i did i cant wait to do it again. The whole team were amazing, Especially Buzz! from the first phone call i made this guy was brilliant with me. Craig was my camera flyer and he did an incredible job, Craig and Dan together make a great team!! Thank you to all the team at Tilstock!!

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. ❤️

Charity Tandem Skydive - I would highly recommend skydive tilstock! I took part in a charity skydive yesterday and to say tilstock staff were incredible is an understatement. I am not the best with... read more heights so was super nervous for my dive however from meeting my tandem instructor, Dave, I was instantly put at ease. He talked to me the whole time which settled my nerves and made me feel completely comfortable falling from a plane! I cannot thankyou enough for making my skydive such a memorable experience.
