Where in England can I walk on a high tension grid?

I wish to experience walking on a tension wire grid, preferably one suspended many metres above the ground such as in a theatre.

Does anyone know of one accessible to the public (not only backstage crew), preferably for free such as during an Open House, in England?

I promise not to use it like a trampoline.

Anechoic chambers have high tension wire grid floors

While they are not "suspended many metres above the ground", the foam wedges in a good chamber are a meter deep (although they often come directly up to the wire mesh floor).

As mentioned in this answer about anechoic chambers anechoic chambers are generally part of companies and universities so are not nominally open to the public. The anechoic chamber at UCL can be hired for "commercial purposes from £55 per hour plus VAT" and the chamber at the ISVR at Southampton is available for commercial purposes and "outreach visits". I also know that both Salford and Nottingham have anechoic chambers, although their websites provide no information about how to use the chamber. Speaking as a former UK Lecturer whose lab included one of the above mentioned anechoic chambers, I am confident that a polite request to the "right" person at a university with a chamber will result in you being allowed to visit.
