Experience Tandem Skydiving at Headcorn, the closest airfield to London and enjoy the picturesque grounds based in Kent from 12,000ft! Strapped to an instructor, you will enjoy 30-40 secs of free fall

Skydiving Experience Days: Tandem Skydiving over Headcorn Airfield is the ideal choice for those living close to London, as the picturesque countryside centre is only around 45 minutes from the centre of our Capital City - mixing together the ultimate adrenaline experience with some of the Garden of England's most lush countryside. With around 30-40 seconds of free fall supplied from a height of 12,000ft, you will be on the most extreme journey back to earth - aided by gravity and the expertise of the instructor attached to your back! Once the parachute has been deployed, you and the instructor will be on a 6-7 minute gentle float back down - safely landing without having to lift a finger as you just appreciate the view!

Your tandem skydive at Headcorn Airfield in Kent will begin by signing the registration forms and sitting through a technique video, before going to the safety mats for a practical demonstration in where to tuck your head and legs throughout the jump. Then, once fully loaded with all of the techniques and info (should take around 30 minutes) - you will be ready to take to the skies in the plane with an instructor strapped to your back. Once all skydivers have been loaded into the plane in two single file rows, the plane will take you up to 12,000ft where the hatch will open and you'll await your turn to shuffle up to the open door ready to make the most insane journey of your life! Dangling your legs over the side and with nothing but fantastic views of the patchwork countryside - your instructor will roll you forward and begin 30-40 seconds of free fall as gravity pulls you 7,000ft toward the ground at a speed of 120mph! At the desired height, the instructor will open the parachute and you'll begin the 4-5 minute float back to earth. Once back on terra firma you'll take off the safety gear and be presented with a certificate of completion - along with an irremovable grin stretching from ear to ear.

What a great experience. Very glad to have paid the extra to have it recorded too as it was all so quick. I’d highly recommend doing a skydive and apparently Headcorn is one of the best places for it.

Great experience. Expensive but worth it as a one off. Lee my photographer was outstanding. He took really great shots including video - a wizard! Simon was great: fun, reassuring and professional.

Questions about Kent Tandem Skydive Experience

I would like to book the Tandem Skydive Kent for a weekend. Is this possible?

The Tandem Skydive Kent is only available on weekdays, subject to availability. Please feel free to look at other areas where the sky dives take place for weekend experiences - http://www.experiencedays.co.uk/tandem-skydiving.

Are professional videos or photos taken of the skydive?

The jump can be captured on a USB in High Definition along with 50 digital photographs by a professional skydiving photographer. However, this comes at an extra cost of £150. Participants will be asked on the day of the jump if they require this service. It is also possible to pre-book a photographer by paying a deposit online at AirAffair's website.

I was hoping to book this experience for my boyfriend. He's 6ft2 and weighs 15st (this is from muscle not fat- not sure if that makes a difference) Would it still be possible for him to complete a skydive at your venue?

The maximum weight for this Weekday Tandem Skydive Kent is 13.5 stone (fully clothed). If you are over 5"7, the maximum weight limit is 14.5 stone - Your weight must be in line with your height. This means that unfortunately, your partner would not be able to take part in this experience as skydiving experiences have very strict weight limitations.

For an additional fee of only £150 (as of the time of writing), you can have the skydive captured on USB all in High Definition and 30/50 digital photographs by one of our professional skydiving photographers. On the day you will be asked if you require this service. In regards to height and weight restrictions if someone if over 5ft 7 then the maximum weight is 14.5 stone, they will weigh you on the day. They are very strict in this aspect due to safety reasons and therefore may refuse you on the day if you are over the restrictions. Therefore, we would highly advise before purchasing a voucher that your weight and height are within the requirements.

Is there a discount for group bookings?

If you are a group of 12 or more, the experience provider for this Weekday Tandem Skydive in Kent can offer you a discount. Please contact our customer service team for more information. 

I am asking about a sky dive experience. My age is 73 years would I qualify for this?

It would be best to check with your doctor first. Everyone has to fill in a form to skydive and if you don't qualify for that, you'll need to get it signed off by your local GP. If your doctors says you should be okay then their shouldn't be an issue.

How much is it to have a photographer for the weekday tandem skydive in Kent, and do you have to pay for that on the day or before?

For an additional fee of £150, participants can have their jump captured on  USB in High Definition, with 30/50 digital photographs by a professional skydiving photographer. This is payable directly to the provider on the day of the jump. 

Hi I wanted to know the availability and provision of video recording please?

The cost of the photography service is currently £150 (at the time of writing) and is paid directly to the skydive provider upon booking.


I really want to do skydiving and I see your maximum weight as 14.5 stone. I'm currently 18.5st 6ft2 can I still skydive? I see on a couple of other places they go up to 18st.

Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to take the experience if you exceed the maximum weight limit. The closest one we offer would mean dropping down to 17st or lower whilst fully clothed, which is  https://www.experiencedays.co.uk/suffolk-skydiving-tandem-skydive .
