Abseil from the iconic Wells Cathedral in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Event and raise vital funding for the SOS Africa, Wells Cathedral and The Forever Friends Appeal - RUH Bath... 

SOS Africa’s 124ft abseil challenge will return to Wells Cathedral on the 4th, 5th, 10th & 12th June 2022. Back by popular demand, following the successes of the 2019 event during which 350 brave fundraisers raised an incredible £60,000, throughout this year's Queen's Platinum Jubilee Event, abseilers will descend from the North-West tower dressed in royal attire. 

The freefall abseil was initially scheduled to take place in autumn 2021 but had to be postponed due to rapidly increased COVID-19 infection rates. Organisers, SOS Africa and abseil instructors, Aardvark Endeavours hope that this summer event will give everyone something to look forward to and the opportunity to support 3 causes close to many of our hearts: education, heritage and healthcare. 

To participate, each abseiler is required to pay a £20 deposit to cover instructor’s fees and raise £100 per person. To enter as an individual or team, please contact event organiser Matt Crowcombe by email (matt@sosafrica.com) with the following information:

• Full name of abseiler or team leader
• Abseiler / team leader email address
• Preferred abseil date / time (9am – 5pm on 4th, 5th, 10th or 12th June 2022)
