Parachute Jump
About this experience
Get ready to tick off an epic bucket list experience. Your next adventure is ready and waiting, and it could well be your biggest one yet.
Jumping from an aircraft at 3,000 feet, you’ll freefall through the skies, taking in the sights below and feeling the rush of the open air before releasing your parachute. Once it’s open, you’ll be able to control your direction and speed, with skills you’ve learnt from your training, before a gentle landing.
It might be one of the most challenging sports ever invented, but you’ll be supervised by the best in the business, who’ll ensure you undergo rigorous ground training. So take a breath, steel your nerves and get ready for that all-important jump.

What happens on the day?
This extraordinary experience is usually run over two adrenaline-fuelled days, but this may differ with location and circumstances on day one. If you wish to stay overnight, many parachuting clubs offer basic and inexpensive accommodation which is not covered by your voucher, so if you are interested you should enquire about this when making your booking.
When you arrive, you will be asked to sign a Declaration of Fitness Form and provided your instructor is satisfied with your overall health, you will be enrolled as a provisional member of the British Parachute Association. You will then be issued with the appropriate equipment and start your first day which usually consists of intensive parachute and landing training, as part of a small group. This will be a mixture of practical and theory with your static line jump normally taking place on the second day (where applicable). This surreal experience will see you jumping from a height of approximately 3,000 feet using a modern hi-tech steerable square canopied parachute created for optimum descent control and a softer landing. Definitely an experience of a lifetime and one you will never forget.
