Is there a better way to test your nerve than with a tandem skydive!
Imagine the adrenaline and thrill of a tandem skydive, jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet high! Now imagine the pride you feel after free-falling at around 120mph and experiencing the serenity of gliding back down to earth!
Perranporth Airfield is also home to the highly experienced Cornish Parachute Club. Instructors and pilots are fully qualified with the British Parachute Association.
If you choose to self-fund your skydive, simply book with the Cornish Parachute Club. We ask for a suggested minimum sponsorship of £195

Join Team CHSW!
Join our team of amazing fundraisers by taking part in a tandem Skydive for CHSW. Our charity places request a minimum sponsorship of £400 before your skydive date - this includes the cost of your skydive. £200 will be paid to the Cornish Parachute Club and any fundraising above this amount will support vital care at our 3 hospices.
- £210 could fund 3 hours of care at one of our hospices
- £320 could pay for a day of support and care in the family home for a child and their family
- £600 could a creative bundle of arts and crafts materials for 1 year at one of our hospices
- £900 could fund a children's nurse for a week
Our Fundraising Teams are here to support you every step of the way, and make fundraising as easy and fun as possible. We have fundraising ideas for every occasion, how-to guides and great branded materials for you to download.
As your fundraising requires a minimum sponsorship of £400, you are not eligible to claim Gift Aid on your donations.

Can I choose to pay for the skydive myself?
Absolutely! If you would like all of your sponsorship to go to CHSW then you can pay the deposit and the remaining balance. Many of our skydivers do choose this option and raise as much as they can in sponsorship.
Can I have my Skydive recorded?
Yes, you can. You can pay the Cornish Parachute Club £95 for a DVD or have landing shots costing £25. Please email Cornish Parachute Club to book a DVD: cpcbookings@hotmail.com.
I have a charity-funded skydive can I claim Gift Aid on my fundraising?
As your sponsorship is paying towards the charity-funded skydive, you will need to be transparent with your donors. We are unable to claim Gift Aid on the first £400 raised towards your skydive. Therefore, to make things simple we advise the following:
• When setting up your online fundraising page please do not allow Gift Aid to be claimed
• Do not allow donors on your sponsorship form to tick the Gift Aid box
• Add this clear statement to your online giving page and sponsorship form: £200 of the sponsorship raised will be funding the Skydive and the remaining sponsorship will support care at Children’s Hospice South West.
Can anyone jump?
If you are aged 40 years or over you are required to have a signed medical certificate
There is unfortunately a maximum weight guideline of 15 stone or 94KG.
All participants will be required to complete a medical information and declaration form which needs to be handed in alongside the booking form.
What does freefall parachuting involve?
Technically the jump is called a Tandem Skydive. You will be taken up in a light aircraft to 10,000 ft before freefalling through the air (without the parachute deployed) for 5 thousand feet at 120MPH!
You will be harnessed to a professional parachute instructor at all times through the descent. Your instructor will then control your landing. You will get to ride the parachute down to the ground!
Your jump and training will be completed in one day.
What time do I need to arrive on the day of my jump?
Two weeks prior to your jump, skydivers will be given an allocated time to arrive at Perranporth Airfield. This is so you can complete your training, hand in any outstanding medical forms and make your final payment. You can not request the time you jump as this is decided upon by the Parachute club dependant on a number of factors – your name is called 15 minutes before your jump time so please be aware you may be there all day waiting for your turn. We advise bringing a picnic blanket and refreshments or you can purchase food from the café.
What sort of training will I receive on the morning of the Skydive?
The Cornish Parachute Club will give you a full comprehensive run down of what will happen during your skydive with information of what you will need to do during your freefall and for landing. A full safety brief will also be gone through with you - if you arrive late and miss the training you will not be allowed to jump.
What happens if the weather is not the right conditions?
You still need to attend on the morning of the parachute jump unless you have been contacted otherwise – if the parachute jump has to be cancelled you will be offered an alternative date or a refund on the day.
