Fundraising events Challenge events Skydive Day July 2026 Photographed: Kerrie skydiving for the our Lollipop Fund at Headcorn. What is it like? Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 ft - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph! Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of the drop zone below. Stop imagining, it’s real and it’s happening all the time and you can be part of it... What does the jump involve? Technically the jump is called a ‘Tandem Skydive’. It is a Skydive because you will be freefalling through the air (without the parachute deployed) for several thousand feet; it is in Tandem because you will be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times throughout the descent. This is the only way you can jump from such an altitude without spending thousands of pounds becoming a freefall parachutist. This is literally the chance of a lifetime! Points to remember: Jump and training completed in one day Harnessed to an experienced parachute instructor at all times Jump from at least 10,000 ft - just like the professionals Freefall down to 5,000 ft - falling through the air at 120 mph! Ride the parachute down to the ground - we teach you how to steer onto the drop zone Landing controlled by your instructor Certificate to prove that you have completed a ‘two-mile high’ Tandem Skydive! Next step? All you have to do is pay a non-refundable £50 registration and then raise a minimum of £475 by asking your friends and colleagues to sponsor you. We will provide you with fundraising support and help you can set up your fundraising page. This is your chance to experience 120mph freefall!
