Experience the UK’s highest free-fall abseil from the Olympic Park’s ArcelorMittal Orbit!
Join us this October by taking on our brand new challenge, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park abseil and raise money to help us create a world where good mental health is a reality for all.
You control the speed of your descent, so enjoy the breath-taking skyline of London from one of the most unique locations in the city. You’ll take in some of the city's most iconic sites as you make your descent, including The Gherkin, St Paul's Cathedral, Canary Wharf, Wembley Stadium and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Join the ranks of our brave adventurers and dangle in free space, 80m above the ground, creating lasting memories with family, friends or colleagues all while raising vital funds and awareness for mental health.
It’s World Mental Health Day on 10 October, just a few days after the event, so join us to mark the occasion by taking on this incredible challenge.
