Story

3, 2, 1 - JUMP!

Strap yourself in and fly up to 15,000ft with us to take part in Dive For Derian on the 4th of July 2021. Once the door of the plane opens you will jump out attached to your British Skydiving qualified instructor and experience speeds of 120mph as you fly through the skies of Lancashire - all to raise funds for Derian House Children's Hospice.

Our pre-jump base at the Black Knights Parachute Centre has been operating for over 50 years making it the longest running centre in the country. With thousands of Skydives under their belt you couldn't be in safer hands for this once in a lifetime experience.

The itinerary for the day consists of us meeting at 7am where we will provide you with refreshments and a light breakfast before boarding our minibus for the group trip to Cockerham, Lancaster. At 8am we will check in and receive our training before we await the perfect conditions for jumping out of a plane at 15,000ft - if there are such a thing! Have you got what it takes to Dive For Derian?

Registration is FREE - it costs you nothing to take part in this event. All we ask is that you pledge to raise a minimum of £450 in sponsorship money and your place on the plane is booked - well, for half of the journey.

To take part, head on over to our website for more details on how to sign up.
