Enjoy this fantastic opportunity to abseil 120 feet down this 'steel city' landmark, past the words of Motion's poem, What if?

Even better, take on the challenge in fancy dress. In the past we've had skeletons, vampires, superheroes, bananas, minions, nurses, James Bond, dinosaurs, monsters, Where's Wally?, and more.
So start thinking now: what will you wear?

What's it like?

From the roof of the building, daredevils can enjoy fantastic views over the city centre. You will be safely harnessed in by a professional abseil team – before stepping over the edge to begin your challenge.
