What do I need to do?

Taking on a Skydive for Pilgrims is as simple as paying your £40 deposit. If you raise our £395 minimum sponsorship target, your skydive will be free!

Deposits are non-refundable but will count towards your sponsorship target.

Can anyone take part?

Yes, anyone over 16 years old can do a tandem skydive. Experience isn’t necessary. You’ll receive all the training you need on the day and be safely strapped to a professional instructor throughout the jump.

For safety reasons, a few restrictions do apply:

• If you’re between 16 and 18 years old you’ll need written consent from a parent or guardian.
• Those with existing health conditions, and anyone over 40 years old, must sign a declaration of fitness in order to participate.
• There is an upper weight limit of 14.5 stone (92 kg) for men and 13.5 stone (86 kg) for women. You may be weighed during registration.
