Your chance to cross Wembley Stadium’s legendary pitch – on a zip wire

Walking out onto the fabled pitch at Wembley Stadium is a distant dream for every sports fan, but for the next three weeks, there is a new attraction that will get you as close as possible to living the dream.

On Wednesday (August 5), a new zip wire experience launched at Wembley Stadium which gives the public – from all the wannabe Lionel Messi’s to those with two-left feet – the opportunity to fly over one of the most iconic pitches in the world.

It’s here for the next three weeks as Wembley takes a break from any sporting action until the Rugby League Challenge Final.

The experience breaks down into three parts – a stadium tour where you’ll be shown all the must-see areas like the dressing room and Royal Box; then you’ll plunge down the zip wire; before a final stop at the exhibition where you’ll be able to view some of Wembley’s most historic moments.

The flight across Wembley’s pitch is great – it’s a view like no other – but it only lasts fifteen seconds so unless you’re a major fan or thrill seeker, there’s not much value to be had here with child tickets for £39 and an adult ticket setting you back £49.
