Santa Slide

Are you ready to join our SANTA SLIDE?

Zip wire high in the sky above Bournemouth beach, dressed as Santa, delivering much needed funds to support people living dementia in our local community.

The PierZip runs from the top of the pier all the way down to the beach; so you will be dangling over the open sea! Not only are you sure to feel the excitement of flying over the waves, but you’ll also get a great view of the stunning Dorset coastline.

Anyone aged over 8 can take part in this event, and there is no maximum age. Anyone aged under 16 must have a parent or guardian present. You need to weigh over 35kg (5st 7lb) and be over 1m 20 (3ft 11.5in). The maximum weight is 120kg (18st 12lb). You can sign up individually, or as a team.

Registration costs £20. This pays for your zip wire and Santa suit, that you get to keep afterwards. We then suggest a minimum sponsorship target of £100 per person.

Join us on Sunday 7th December for this fun and exhilarating fundraising event. Whether you want to do something different, have fun with your friends and family or even liven up your Christmas party, It’s a fantastic way to get the festive period started.
