Satisfy that adrenaline rush from one of the most beautiful spots right here in Cornwall and tick it off your bucket list!
Situated on the beautiful cliffs of Perranporth, the Cornish Parachute Club is the most picturesque skydive centre in the UK for you to tick something off your bucket list, on a date to suit you!
After a full safety briefing on the ground, you’ll be expertly fitted into your harness and meet your tandem skydive partner. It’s then off to the plane where you’ll spend around 20 minutes climbing to 10,000ft, enjoying the spectacular views of the Cornish coastline until it’s Skydive time!
You’ll then go from 0-120mph in 10 seconds, falling from 10,000 feet followed by a 5 minute parachute ride before landing safely back to earth for all your friends and family to see – what an adventure and celebration!
You can also choose the date you want to do your tandem skydive, perfect if there is a special reason behind why you want to do this for Cornwall Hospice Care. So why not sign up for the experience of a lifetime and help us to carry on caring for all those living with terminal illness in Cornwall.
The Cornish Parachute Club run tandem skydives every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from March to November (weather permitting) so get in touch and get it in your calendar.
If you are brave enough to take the leap, physically fit, and are over the age of 18 then this challenge is for you.
Without a doubt this is best way to experience the sport of skydiving for the first time. You’re securely strapped to the front of a highly experienced BPA qualified Tandem Instructor who will guide you through the whole experience.
Part of a team or club? Why not get your colleagues, family, or friends involved and take on a team skydive challenge – contact Jade about corporate and team building opportunities by emailing jhugo@cornwallhospice.co.uk.
You’ll be raising money for Cornwall Hospice Care to fund the vital end of life care we provide at our two Cornish hospices in Hayle and St Austell. We also work in the local community providing support and comfort to those dealing with terminal illnesses, so your fundraising really will make a difference to people’s lives, making every day matter. Find out more about the care we provide here.
Setting up an online fundraising page with JustGiving takes just a few minutes, and makes sharing what you’re doing with those near and far very easy. It’s quick and simple for loved ones to donate to your challenge and you can share updates on your page too. We also have Sponsor Forms you can download and print, if you prefer a more traditional fundraising method.
Bake sales, quizzes and bingo nights are really fun ways to raise money – we have a team of dedicated fundraisers here to help you with any ideas you may have, so please get in touch if you have any questions.
If jumping out of the plane isn’t your style then why not get strapped to the top of it? Take on an exhilarating Wingwalk and weave through the skies on a Boeing Stearman bi-plane at over 500ft in the sky.
Choose the ultimate Wingwalk experience with Wingwalk Buzz who are based near Exeter. Enjoy the views and savour the adrenaline rush of ticking off a bucket list experience whilst raising funds for those affected by terminal illness in Cornwall.
Wingwalk Buzz offer flights every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (if the conditions allow) and your adventure will last around 10 minutes.
You need to be 18 years of age and if you are over 65 your GP will need to pre-sign a medical declaration form.
A registration fee of £100 is payable to Wingwalk Buzz to secure your booking and we ask you to commit to raising a minimum of £399 for Cornwall Hospice Care.

How old do I need to be to skydive?
The minimum age to skydive is 18.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
Skydiving is extremely weather dependent and in our lovely county postponements and reschedules are common. If you are unable to jump as a result of poor weather, the Cornish Parachute Club will rearrange a new date with you.
Can I pick what time I jump?
The Cornish Parachute Club work on a first come first served basis so they recommend that you arrive on time. Arrival times will be confirmed with you at the point of booking.
Can I only take part on the publicised date?
No, you can choose any date you would like to do your tandem skydive. You’ll get the chance to decide at the point of booking with the Cornish Parachute club, although please note that the club only operates tandem skydives between March and November.
Can a whole team do it?
Yes of course! Why not get your colleagues involved and take on a corporate skydive challenge – contact Erica for corporate enquiries by emailing evitai@cornwallhospice.co.uk.
