Take a leap of faith and abseil from the top of Brighton’s iconic i360 on Thursday 15 May 2025!
Before beginning your challenge, you will be taken up to the viewing platform, which is 138m high. You will have time to admire 360-degree views of Brighton and the South Coast as you wait for your turn to drop.
The i360's expert team will then attach your harness to the safety line system before guiding you to step out of the pod. Your descent is controlled from above leaving you to take in the feeling of total freedom as you hang free in the open air with nothing but gliding seagulls, stunning landscape and sea views to admire!
The abseils will take place from 6:30pm, so you’ll be able to enjoy the sunset closer to the sky! And anyone over the age of 12 can take part. We just ask that you aim to raise £250 or more for Raystede’s animals.
By taking part, you will receive:
- A fundraising pack
- Raystede t-shirt - proudly show off that you're part of #TeamRaystede
- Support leading up to the event
- Tips and advice to help you achieve your fundraising target
- On the day support and volunteers to cheer you on
- A special animal hero medal after your abseil
