“As a Marketing team we wanted to raise as much money as possible for our Premium Charity Partner, Southampton Hospitals Charity. Working at Paultons, we see children braving the rollercoasters every day and we wanted to prove to ourselves that we can be brave too, so undertaking a skydive seemed like a good choice!

We can honestly say that we had the best experience ever! Everyone at GoSkydive were incredible and put us completely at ease, we can’t recommend them highly enough. It was amazing to do this together as a team and we’re so pleased that we could raise money and awareness of the charity in the process.”

Rebecca Gilmour, Social Media and Marketing Executive, Paultons Park.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the skydive take place?

All our skydives will take place at GoSkydive, Old Sarum Park, Salisbury, SP4 6EB. Located on the outskirts of Salisbury close to the famous prehistoric heritage site of Stonehenge. Basingstoke, Bournemouth, Southampton, and the New Forest are just over 30 minutes away.

Parking is available on-site. Alternatively, Salisbury has a mainline railway station with trains direct from London and the south coast. GoSkydive is just a short taxi journey (10 mins) from the station.

What happens if I don’t raise the minimum sponsorship?

The minimum sponsorship for the 10,000 feet skydive is £450. You must have raised at least £184 in order to cover the cost of the jump.

The minimum sponsorship for the 15,000 feet skydive is £550. You must have raised at least £253 in order to cover the cost of the jump.

The Charity will be invoiced prior to the jump, so if you have not raised enough money to cover the cost of the jump, you will be told before the day of the jump. You will be given the choice to cancel the jump or reschedule for another date.

What happens on the day?

Your day begins with an introduction to GoSkydive and what to expect from your tandem skydive. Next, you will be given specialist training by an experienced tandem master in a simulated training environment. GoSkydive is the only skydiving centre in the world to offer this level of training.
