Take the plunge at one of the UK’s most scenic waterside bungee locations. Set beside Bray Lake near Maidenhead, this experience offers a mix of high-adrenaline action and peaceful surroundings. With a 300ft crane jump over water and the option to go solo, tandem, or backwards, it’s a brilliant way to mark a special occasion—or just to tick something off your list.
April - 11th & 12th
June - 27th 28th
September - 5th & 6th
October - 24th & 25th
On arrival, you’ll check in at the Bray Lake site, where you’ll be welcomed by the event team. After registration, you’ll take part in a comprehensive safety briefing covering everything you need to know. Staff will get you kitted up with both ankle and waist harnesses, and a multi-stage check will be carried out before you’re allowed anywhere near the platform. All equipment is supplied, and you’ll be supported throughout by fully trained crew members.
Once your kit is confirmed and you’re ready to go, you’ll be escorted to the crane platform. Proudly standing as the biggest bungee in the UK, the view from 300ft up gives you a new perspective on the lake and surrounding countryside. Whether you're going solo, in tandem, or taking the backwards jump option, the drop is the same—and it’s our biggest one. As the countdown begins, you’ll feel the tension build before leaping off the platform, freefalling until the bungee cord rebounds and begins to slow you down. The bounce and sway above the water is all part of the excitement, before you're carefully lowered and unhooked. Afterwards, collect your certificate and take a breather lakeside—or head into nearby Bray or Maidenhead to celebrate.
Bray Lake Watersports is a well-known outdoor activity venue located just outside Maidenhead, with the jump site set up along the edge of the lake. The setting combines natural scenery with good local facilities and easy road access. You’ll be jumping over water, which adds an extra layer of excitement to the experience, especially for first-time bungee jumpers.
The venue is easily reached from the M4 and M25, and just a short drive from Windsor or Reading. If you're using a sat nav, be aware some systems may direct you to the wrong side of Bray Lake—if you reach Monkey Island Hotel, you’ll need to turn around, take a left at the end of the lane, then the final left before the national speed limit sign.
