It’s an indoor skydiving centre, so you’ll be able to shoot breathtaking aerial shots and scenes. You’ll no doubt have your audience sitting on the edge of their seats!

Even better? Our indoor skydiving centre in Basingstoke is surprisingly easy to reach (it’s not far from the M3). Also, with its elegant, modern design and sensational vertical wind tunnel, your next shoot could literally 'fly' off the screen.

Location and accessibility

If you’re considering filming in Basingstoke, iFLY is a spot you can't ignore. Handily situated just off the M3 motorway, getting here is as easy as ABC, whether you’re coming from London or any part of the south east. 

What’s great is that iFLY sits in the middle of Basingstoke Leisure Park. And it’s surrounded by nearby facilities like eateries, bars, and hotels. So, you’ll keep your cast and crew happy.

Plus, your entire team will find journeying to and from the venue hassle-free, thanks to ample parking on hand and good public transport links. It’s an excellent choice for productions looking for easy access without the bother.

Facility features

At the heart of our iFLY Basingstoke centre is the extraordinary vertical wind tunnel. The tunnel’s transparent glass walls offer a one-off vertical wind tunnel filming experience – cameras will easily capture all the action from numerous angles, be it the joy of a first-time flyer or the faultless movements of an experienced pro.

Sure, this high-tech facility is about aesthetics. But it’s also built to handle the technical demands of professional filming, which is what makes it one of the most unique filming venues in the UK. Accurate shooting will be a piece of cake, thanks to adjustable wind speeds and a controlled environment. You can be sure you’ll capture every detail of the flight experience.

Also, our centre boasts a lovely spacious layout, with areas perfect for crew setups, equipment storage, and even small cast gatherings. These thoughtful features make iFLY Basingstoke a filmmaker's dream come true.
