Tandem Skydive

With a tandem parachute specially designed for two people, you will board an aircraft and soar to around 13,000 feet (approximately two miles high!). When you and your instructor leave the plane, you will fall at about 120 mph, descending to 5,000 feet in around 40 seconds. At this point, your instructor will open the parachute and fly you safely back to earth! During the six minutes or so under the parachute, you will enjoy breath-taking and unique views of the local area and beyond. We guarantee that your tandem skydive will be an exhilarating experience!

For this once in a lifetime adrenalin rush, all we ask is a £50 registration fee (paid direct to UK Parachuting) and a minimum of £330 in fundraising sponsorship by 7th June 2024. If you meet this minimum fundraising target, the cost of your skydive will be covered by us. If not, you can still take part but you must pay the £180 fee yourself on the day of the jump directly to UK Parachuting.

Jacqui who did the jump in 2023 said, “Jumping out of a perfectly good aeroplane is something that everyone needs to do at least once in their life. And doing it while raising funds for an incredible organisation, well, I’m not sure I’m ever going to top that.”

Please read the FAQs and check the criteria prior to booking!

If Saturday 22nd June is unsuitable, you can jump on another day if UK Parachuting have space available. Contact UK Parachuting directly to arrange this. Please mention that you are jumping for Farleigh Hospice and then let us know when your booking is confirmed.

Hayley, 28, is absolutely petrified of heights but she jumped out of an aeroplane to raise money for Farleigh Hospice in memory of her dad. She tells us why she faced her fears for Farleigh.
