Cast members from Birmingham Hippodrome's pantomime took to the iFly wind tunnel – which simulates the experience of freefalling at 12,000 feet.

Union J star Jaymi Hensley, who plays Peter Pan, was joined by Cassie Compton, Kellie Gnauck and Walsall's own Imogen Brooke who play Wendy, Tinkerbell and Tiger Lily respectively.

After their skydiving experience, they plunged out the rear of a landed helicopter down a zipline at the new attraction by NEC Birmingham.

The Bear Grylls' Adventure features a number of activities to replicate Bear's adventures including indoor skydiving, climbing walls, the highest high ropes court in Europe and diving with sharks.

Peter Pan runs at Birmingham Hippodrome until January 27. For tickets, visit www.birminghamhippodrome.com or call 0844 338 5000.
