Join us for an unforgettable charity skydive!

Take part in an exhilarating challenge and make a real difference for cats in need!

Our charity skydive for Cats Protection South West offers you the chance to experience the ultimate adrenaline rush while raising vital funds to help care for and rehome cats and kittens.

You'll be harnessed to an expert instructor for a tandem skydive, soaring up to 10,000 feet before free-falling at speeds of up to 120 mph! As your parachute opens, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views while making a gentle descent back to solid ground.

No experience is needed, just bravery and enthusiasm! Are you ready to take the leap?
