Following last year’s total sell-out tour RU PAUL’S DRAG RACE favourite JINKX MONSOON and lyrical genius MAJOR SCALES return to showcase new music from their upcoming album... however Jinkx worries that her best years are behind her. In order to avoid a breakdown of diva proportions Major must act as both pianist and therapist to the Manic Miss Monsoon. Music and mental health collide in this witty, biting look at the dark side of Drag fame.

On the day
On arrival you’ll meet your instructor who will take you through your training and provide you with your jumpsuit and harness. You’ll ride up to altitude in a Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft that has been specially converted for skydiving. During the 20 minute flight you can enjoy the beautiful views of the British countryside.
You and your instructor will exit the plane at approximately 13,500ft and you will freefall for about 45 seconds, reaching speeds of over 120mph. At 5,000ft your instructor will deploy the parachute slowing you down for a gentler ride, during which you’ll be able to try steering. Your instructor will take control for the landing and debrief you afterwards.
How to book
More information and registration form will be available here soon. If you’d like to know more you can contact the fundraising team on fundraising@leicesterymca.co.uk or 0116 2046224.
