How do I organise a Christmas Skydive?

Charity-funded skydive

We work with Skyline Events to organise the charity-funded skydives and we ask you to pay a registration fee of £70 and to fundraise a minimum of £395 per person. This helps us to cover the costs of your skydive and to ensure your hard-earned fundraising goes towards our charitable objectives. Why not finish the year with an adrenaline rush by taking on a festive skydive?

If this is the option for you, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3…

  • Choose your UK location, select a date and pay your booking fee using the sign up link.
  • Set up your online fundraising page with a £395* target per person. We recommend JustGiving.
  • Fundraise, fundraise, fundraise! Share your page on social media and don’t forget you can help reach your target by fundraising offline too. If you’d like some inspiration, take a look at these great ideas and hints and tips.

FAQS

Skydiving is a weather dependent activity this means there is a chance you may have to wait all day for the right weather conditions and then not be able to jump. The airfield will try their best to make sure you can jump on the day!

If you are planning on wearing a Santa suit or costume this will need to be approved with the airfield before jumping. The Charity can also send out a charity t-shirt to wear on the day.

The weight limits for men and women can vary between our airfields – you can click here to see the limits at each airfield. Just click on your selected location to see the details.

For the tandem skydives the minimum age is 16 – however anyone aged 16 or 17 would need to have a parental consent form on the day of their jump. You will have access to this once you have booked. Some airfields also have an upper age limit.

Check out Skylines a day in a life of a skydiver article to see what you’ll be doing on the day. They also have more information on their FAQs page.
