Skydive Sunday

Skydive for LOROS Hospice and turn an incredible challenge into compassionate support for patients and families.  

Take on a skydive for charity and experience the thrill of freefalling at speeds of over 120mph – all while raising vital funds for LOROS Hospice care. Whether you’re skydiving in memory of a loved one, pushing yourself to try something new, or simply chasing the thrill of a lifetime, this is an experience you’ll never forget.  

Sign up for a once-in-a-lifetime experience on one of our two dedicated Skydive days for LOROS Hospice this year. Whether you’re jumping in memory of a loved one, challenging yourself to do something you’ve never done before, or just want to experience the thrill of falling back to Earth at speeds of over 120mph… Skydiving is definitely for you!

Get out of your comfort zone and board a plane at Sibson Aerodrome before climbing steadily way above the clouds to an incredible 13,000ft above the planet. Clamber your way to the plane’s door… lean out… and you’re off! Free falling at speeds of over 120mph guarantees an experience you will never forget before your parachute suddenly opens and you can enjoy wonderful views like no other as you glide back down to solid ground.

Our tandem skydives are run by UK Parachuting whose instructors have undertaken thousands of jumps over the years! You will be incredibly safe hands and everything you need to know will be covered off in a safety briefing on the day.

How it works

• £50 registration fee to secure your skydive  

• Pledge to raise £400 for LOROS Hospice  

Your adventure begins at Sibson Aerodrome, climbing high above the clouds to 13,000ft. When the door opens, there’s only one thing left to do – take the leap. Plunge through the sky at over 120mph, before your parachute opens and the pace slows, revealing sweeping views as you glide gently back to Earth, with the unforgettable feeling of doing something extraordinary for LOROS Hospice.  

Our tandem skydives are delivered by UK Parachuting, whose expert instructors have completed thousands of jumps. You’ll be in safe, experienced hands every step of the way, with a full safety briefing provided on the day to ensure you feel confident and ready to take the leap. 

Please note, the minimum age limit for jumping is 16 with parental consent and a maximum weight limit of 15.7stone also applies. All skydivers will need to fill out a medical self-certification form before jumping.
