Brave the skies, feel the rush and stand on the wing of a plane at altitude as you take on the ultimate adrenaline challenge—all while raising vital funds for your local hospice.
Take on the Ultimate Challenge!
Are you ready to do something extraordinary?
Join Team KEMP for an unforgettable Wing Walk Challenge and experience the thrill of standing on the wing of a plane at altitude while raising vital funds to support your local hospice.
This is more than an adrenaline rush. It’s a chance to push your limits, create memories that last a lifetime, and help us continue providing free, compassionate care to those who need it most.
What happens on the day?
In partnership with Gloucestershire and Kent aerodromes, we’re thrilled to offer this once‑in‑a‑lifetime fundraising challenge.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by the team before being briefed and strapped in ready for your flight. Before you know it, you’ll have taken to the skies for your unforgettable wing walk. Brace yourself as your pilot goes through the motions with a series of climbs, banks and dives.
How it works:
Your wing walk experience is valid for 12 months from the date full payment is received.
- You must book and complete your experience before the expiry date
- If you cancel or wish to rearrange less than 4 weeks before your scheduled date, a £200 rebooking fee will apply
- You may reschedule once only
Please note: Wing walking is weather dependent. We strongly recommend not booking travel or accommodation until your flight date is confirmed.
Fundraising – How Your Support Helps
By signing up, you agree to raise a minimum of £1,000 in sponsorship for KEMP Hospice. Here’s how it works:
- You pay your deposit to secure your place
- We are notified that you are taking part in support of KEMP Hospice
