Steel City Abseil

A thrilling 120ft abseil down the Owen Building - a Sheffield landmark decorated with the poetry of Sir Andrew Motion.

Enjoy a fantastic and unique opportunity to abseil 120ft down this steel city landmark, past the words of Motion's poem 'What If?'

Why not abseil in Halloween fancy dress and then hit the town for Fright Night - Sheffield's massive Halloween party.

What's it like?

From the roof of the building daredevils can enjoy fantastic views over the city centre, before being safely harnessed in by a professional abseil team and stepping over the edge to begin their challenge.

There is lots of viewing space for fundraisers' friends and family, who will also be able to take photographs of the event. 

What extras do you get?
