Visited recently to complete one of the things from my bucket list, and I have to say that it was a choice of choosing. The place is amazing with friendly, polite and professional staff. The whole went smooth from to finish. Adam, who's been my on the day, has been absolutely brilliant. He has talked me through every step and made sure I had the best time during the event 😁 If you get to do your with Adam, consider yourself lucky as he's one true legend. Thank you for making the day so memorable. Keep up the work, everyone. What an unforgettable at Black Knights Skydiving Centre! I jumped from 15,000 feet (still can’t believe I actually did it 🙈) and my Nate and Cameraman Aleandro made the whole thing absolutely amazing. From the pre-jump nerves to freefalling through the clouds, he kept it fun, safe, and exciting. The photos and video are stunning—I look like I’m in an action movie! If you’re thinking about skydiving, don’t hesitate—just do it. Best adrenaline rush ever! Best crazy scary feeling ever xxx Husband did this as part of a charity for St Catherine's Hospice. The centre has an indoor and outdoor seating area with fresh food cooked to order at reasonable prices. Dog friendly. My husband reported that the staff were incredibly accomodating, knowledgeable and professional putting his nerves at ease. Opportunity to upgrade to the 15,000ft for an extra £25, photography and film package available. Our package was created, edited and emailed within 2 hours of the jump. A fantastic day enjoyed by all of the family. Absolutely this place and the brilliant staff. Front desk/reception so chatty and helpful. My Archie was amazing, I felt very safe with him even though I was so nervous, his whole persona was calm and confident..just what I needed. I booked a skydiving video/photographer, mainly to prove I had actually done it, and in case my eyes were shut the entire time (they weren't for the record). I was allocated Alan, again so confident, and ensured he got the best shots, also gave me tips which really helped. When I left the plane, my eyes were fixed on him, instead of where I was heading 👇 I would 100% get a video done. They capture everything, including the mood.. Do it, don't put it off any longer and book with Black Knights.. I'm 60 and was a bit nervous but the guys at Black Knight provided the best ever. A short precise training session. Quick to gear up and it just flowed to take off. Fortunately the weather was perfect. Dry and sunny with a few clouds. My tandem man was lovely and patient. The photographer has sent me some fab photos and videos. There's a cafe with nice food and drinks. The best day ever. Thank-you so much 🥰 This was the best ever, it was such a thrill, I loved every second of it. It's hard to explain how good it was. I would definitely it to anyone who's brave enough. Black knights were and made it such a fun Absolutely brilliant from to finish!! The instructors were all great. I did a tandem with Deano who was my instructor, he was great, put me at ease, had a laugh and told me what was going to happen every step of the way up and down! There was plenty of space to sit and wait inside and outside and a cafe serving hot and cold drinks. Would definitely paying for the to be recorded as the crew jumping with us were awesome and got some fab footage. Overall and will be back so I can actually open my eyes when I leave the plane next time!! What a day. I just want to thank everyone for an absolutely memorable day. I completed a 15.,000ft tandem with an who just blew me away. Tony kept me calm from to finish, at 72, in my eyes, that man is a proper legend, and I really can’t thank him enough. All the staff and also the solo skydivers made me feel valued and proud of what I’d done (I was the only tandem on my flight, the other guys were solo experts) and high fives before we jumped just made me want more. Up to now, I’ve raised £1300 and donations still coming in for St John’s Hospice, but for me, the support from St John’s charity team and everyone at The Black Knights parachute centre made the whole event so memorable. If you haven’t done a skydive, get it booked. Very hard to explain the feeling, but amazing is all I can say at the moment as I come down from the adrenaline rush. Special thanks to Tony, so calm and reassuring, and made my unforgettable. 5⭐️ Wow this place is excellent if you fancy doing a skydive. Upon arrival the lady on reception was great, very friendly and professional. She spoke to you with such joy to see you and filled you with confidence before you've even finished signing and weighing. Went through a safety briefing with a young lad who was very comical and set your mind at with a few wise cracks. Then comes the best bits. Me and my partner both did a tandem at 15000ft and she was a little anxious before hand. When we went to meet our tandem partners they were fantastic. My partner was Lee and the Mrs had Chris, Lee was the one who got us set up with suits and harnesses. He gave us a demo of the position to be in before scraping us up to make sure we could do it. He was talking to you the whole way through guiding you and just filled you with confidence. I also had it videoed so met my camera man Dean, another guy who just made you feel so relaxed and had a little one on one moments about the jump. The was just from to what an exceptional bunch of people. Black Knights has a picnic area outside for spectators with plenty of picnic tables and benches, smoking area to calm the nerves and a toilet block. Inside the is a cafe which was reasonably priced and more seating showing clips of people who have completed a skydive. Overall it was a fantastic and I would have given more stars. The most surreal, unforgettable of my life! My Deano and my cameraman Alan were amazing – they made me feel excited, and completely at ease. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better pair – they were everything I needed! It’s hard to put into words just how amazing the entire was. I’m honestly gutted it’s over – I wish I could relive it! I’m already planning coming back for another jump.🪂 What a fantastic team. Starting with the lovely lady on reception, guy on the cafe and to all of the instructors, camera men and pilot. You made the unreal. Deano was my and he was fantastic from to finish. He gave me lots of information lots of chat and even got me to out the plane last which on the way to the skydiving centre I said I didn't want to go last. With his confidence I was happy to go last. Again thank you so much you couldn't of done anything better. You were all incredible Many Thanks Holly 🤘 First time skydiving for charity and it was brilliant! From to finish, what an experience! My Lee was and made me feel at as was the camera man Alessio who captured this fantastic memory! Thankyou, can’t wait to come back again! I jumped for Cash for Kids Charity 30/4/25 helping to end Holiday Hunger for local children in our Community. The Black Knights Parachute Team were excellent and so welcoming and put any nervousness I had into excitement and joy. My was Ben and he was brilliant to a point we had some banter & laughs on the way up and down. I would all of the team to anyone thinking of doing it 100% . Go on it is the thrill of a lifetime and one never to forget as one of the 3 Mile Club. Amazing at BKSC. They have a setup and I felt comfortable, safe and at throughout the whole experience. Nick was a fantastic instructor. All other members of the team were fantastic too from registration, safety briefing and camera man. Would definitely them. Thanks! Black nights skydiving was an absolute joy to do staff are well versed in their roles, from the minute you turn up to the minute you leave your put at ease, you are talked through the whole process Would absolutely this day out to everyone truly unforgettable Did my from 7000ft, was very nice, explained things well and was very charming. His personality definitely made an impact on my nerves as I was calm pretty much throughout the whole thing, even when I hadn't even been in a plane before! Just listen to everything that they say and you will be fine. Would here if you're looking to try skydiving. “Trust me… you’re going to want to press ‘Read more’ on this one. This wasn’t just a — it was a promise, a mission, and an I’ll never forget.” What an absolutely unforgettable — from the first phone call all the way to the landing! 😄🪂✨ Before the day even arrived, my journey started with Jack on the phone. I’d mentioned my vertigo during booking, and he was unbelievably helpful — calm, patient, and so reassuring. He answered every question I had and genuinely put my mind at ease. Without Jack’s support, I might not have even booked. A massive shout-out to him for that! 💙🙌 I also want to mention something deeply important to me: This wasn’t just a thrill — it was for my beautiful friend Olivia and The Knowles Foundation 🍊. I’d made her a promise, and I’m not one of those fluffy friends who says they’ll do something and doesn’t follow through. I said I’d do this skydive, and I did — proudly. I’ve raised a serious amount of money and awareness, and having my whole family, friends, and a huge support team cheering from the ground meant everything. Every donation, every message, every person who believed in me — I carried all of you up there. 🙏💛🍊 Fast forward to day — me arriving in my iconic silver pants, obviously making an entrance 😎✨. The very first person to greet me was a skydiver in a brightly coloured jacket, handing out fist bumps and pure good-vibes energy 🤘🏼. That welcome instantly set the tone for the entire day. Inside, Julie on the desk was lovely — friendly, welcoming, and totally organised. She kept everything moving smoothly and made me feel instantly looked after. 🌟 The spectators’ area was brilliant — space for everyone who came to support, perfect views, and a buzzing atmosphere. And yes… the refreshments were very much appreciated before and after the ☕️😄 Then came my safety briefing with Nick, who absolutely deserves a mention. Calm, clear, thorough, and reassuring — he explained everything in a way that turned nerves into excitement. He genuinely prepared me perfectly for what was coming. 🙏 And then… the absolute star of my entire experience: Nate. My tandem instructor. My guy. My main man. THE legend. 🪂🔥 I cannot praise Nate enough — he was truly something special. From the moment I met him, his energy was next-level: calm, confident, reassuring, funny, and genuinely kind. The perfect mix. You can tell immediately that he loves what he does — not in a routine way, but in a passionate, infectious way that lifts everyone around him. He made me feel safe, supported, and excited from to finish. He talked me through everything clearly, kept me relaxed with his humour, grounded me with his confidence, and made every single moment feel unforgettable. It’s rare you meet someone who can take a once-in-a-lifetime moment and make it even better — but Nate did exactly that. He didn’t just do his job — he elevated the entire experience. He absolutely deserves the biggest shout-out in this entire review. Nate made my day what it was, and I will never, ever forget him. 💙🔥 Then came Irish Alan, the photo/video magician. 📸✨ He captured EVERYTHING — the laughter, the nerves, the views, the golden sunset, the freefall, the landing — all of it. The footage is unreal. He didn’t miss a single moment. On the plane, the atmosphere was incredible — including my brightly-coloured-jacket superhero again, leaping out with full energy. The fist bumps, the encouragement, the excitement — the whole plane felt electric. 🤘🏼🪂 When I landed, the ground crew were right there cheering and celebrating with me — making the moment even more unforgettable. And then the next morning? Jack called again to check on me — first-class service! 💙 Would I do it again? Absolutely. Would I it? 100% YES — without hesitation. This wasn’t just a skydive. It was purpose, heart, adrenaline, laughter, incredible people, and a memory I will carry forever. I am truly, genuinely grateful. Still buzzing! 🚀💙✨ We had the most amazing day at Black Knights, from to finish.. We chose to do the 15,000ft tandem for Bolton Hospice. The staff were brilliant and helped you with everything you needed to know, step by step. I felt so safe! I was quite nervous, but Deano kept me calm and made sure I had the best jump. It’s truly an incredible experience, I will definitely be back.. and make sure you book the video and photo add on, absolutely worth it! Thanks again! X On the 11th of April 2025, I did a charity from 11,000ft to raise money for Meningitis Now. The whole from to was just amazing. I was partnered with Paul, one of the instructors, for my tandem skydive, and he was so lovely and professional, putting me at from the start. I also bought the handycam video footage which finished the off nicely, giving me 4 different video clips and over 100 images of my entire skydive. I would highly recommend! Wow!!! What an experience! From the booking process all the way through to receiving the video/photos link this has been first class!! Thankyou so much to Lee who I jumped with, he made me feel relaxed and safe and he continued to make sure I was happy with the instructions. It was an awesome jump! Thankyou to Nate, the videographer who, again, made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and the results were awesome! Black Knights you excelled at making this a truly once in a lifetime, bucket list wish, experience!
