Skydive

Fly through the skies at our skydive day on Saturday 28 September

We have a limited number of skydiving spaces at the Hinton Airfield, near Brackley on Saturday 28th September. Skydiving is not only thrilling, and something you’ll remember forever, but it’s also a fantastic way to raise money for Willen Hospice. Your skydive will be what’s called a ‘Tandem skydive’ where you’ll be strapped to a professional – so all you have to do is enjoy it!

You’ll be given a Willen Hospice hoodie to jump in, and our friendly team will be there on the day to cheer you on!

Included:

  • Jump and training completed in one day
  • Harnessed to an experienced parachute instructor at all times
  • Jump from at least 10,000 feet
  • Freefall down to 5,000 feet – falling through the air at 120 mph!
  • Ride the parachute down to the ground
  • Landing controlled by your instructor
  • Certificate to prove that you have completed a ‘two-mile high’ Tandem Skydive

Cost:

Raise a minimum of £450 which includes £300 costs and £150 fundraising to support the services provided by Willen Hospice.
