Skydive

Fly through the skies at our skydive day on Saturday 30th September

We have 10 skydiving spaces at the Hinton Airfield, near Brackley on Saturday 30th 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:

You can fundraise and use the money you raise to pay for your skydive:

Fundraise £450 – £230 of which will be paid to the airfield by Willen Hospice and £70 covering the deposit, with £150 (minimum) of the additional money raised going to Willen Hospice.

You can pay directly and keep your fundraising separate:

Fundraise £150 (minimum) – Pay the £70 directly for your deposit, and £230 directly to the airfield on the day. The £150 fundraised will go to Willen Hospice.

Please note,  latest date for bookings is 30th June 2023, after which remaining places will be released by the airfield.

If you can’t make this date, you can still book directly with the airfield.
