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.

There are no places in England that I know this is possible for the general public.

I can find no places where such activity could be done, the likely reasons are;

  • It’s Dangerous
  • Can Disturb Set If In A Theatre
  • Health & Safety
  • Not exactly the most popular experience
  • No Demand

You may be able to contact a theatre or somewhere with a grid like this to request such an experience, but the answer is very likely going to be no, due to health and safety, and because they have no insurance for you. It certainly wouldn’t be free.

The only way I found out you could do this was virtually – not half like real life…

As Suggested in the answer by StrongBad, a polite request may get you somewhere, if you ask the right people.
