This is your opportunity to hear the remarkable story of how comedian and author Adam Kay wrote the million copy best-selling book of 2018.
“This Is Going To Hurt” is an hilarious read, capturing the experiences of Adam when he was working as a junior doctor, and the book is now being adapted as a major comedy-drama for BBC Two.
Adam will be joined by Festival Director Geoff Rowe as they chat about the story behind the book.

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.
