Take the leap with our weekday Headcorn skydive experience — an adventure you will never forget. This renowned skydiving centre in Kent, established in 1979, has helped more than 70,000 people achieve their dream of a tandem skydive over the stunning Kent countryside. Your jump begins with a climb to around 12,000ft, securely harnessed to a fully qualified British Skydiving instructor. Then comes the big moment — stepping out of the aircraft and plunging into an exhilarating freefall before your parachute opens at around 5,000ft, allowing you to glide gently back to earth while taking in spectacular views of the “Garden of Kent”. Located at Headcorn Airfield, this weekday skydive offers an incredible adrenaline rush and a unique perspective of the beautiful south-eastern landscape. The experienced team and excellent skydiving conditions make it one of the UK’s top places to try a tandem skydive. On arrival, you will receive a full safety briefing before meeting your instructor, who will guide you through every stage of the jump. All instructors are British Skydiving accredited, so you will be in safe hands throughout. You can also upgrade to include a professional freefall photographer to capture the most thrilling moments of your skydive. A weekday Headcorn skydive may not be for the faint-hearted, but it’s guaranteed to be one of the most exhilarating experiences you will ever have.
