What to Expect

Upon arrival at The Grove site, you’ll be welcomed by the event team and checked in. After registration, you’ll be given a full safety briefing covering everything from harness fitting to what to expect during the jump. The instructors will walk you through the process and be on hand for any last-minute questions. Once you’ve been securely harnessed and your jump type confirmed, you’ll make your way to the jump crane.

The cage is slowly lifted 160ft above ground, giving you time to take in sweeping views of Bristol's beautiful skyline. The FAB jump gives a backward twist to the traditional bungee, while tandem jumping means you can experience the adrenaline with a friend or partner. Once at full height, the countdown begins — and the jump is yours to take. You’ll be lowered back down to the ground and guided out of the harness, with the option to buy media footage or a jump certificate as a keepsake.

All equipment is professionally tested and certified, and staff receive regular training and assessments to maintain high safety standards.

What is the difference between a solo, tandem, and FAB bungee jump?

A solo bungee jump involves just you taking the leap, securely harnessed by both ankle and waist straps for a thrilling solo experience.

A tandem jump lets you share the excitement with a friend or loved one, with both of you jumping together, attached to the same bungee cord.

The FAB (Forward and Backward) bungee jump gives you two jumps in one: the first is a traditional headfirst jump, followed by a second jump where you lean out backwards before letting go, offering a completely different sensation.

Each type provides a unique way to experience the rush of bungee jumping.
