Charity Santa Flights at Bluewater Shopping Centre 

Over at Hangloose Adventure at Bluewater, Kent, guests can swap sleighs for zip lines this Christmas with the return of the Charity Santa Flight on Saturday 14th December, from 10am until 4pm. For one day only, ticket holders will don full Santa suits provided by the park, and soar headfirst down England’s longest and fastest zip line - an impressive 720 metres of airtime - reaching speeds of up to 50mph. 

Set against the dramatic chalk cliffs of an old quarry and gliding over Bluewater’s scenic lakes, the zip line is just a stone’s throw from Bluewater Shopping Centre and only 35 minutes from London’s O2 Arena – making it an ideal festive day out for families, couples, or adrenaline seekers alike. 

Tickets are £40 per person, with 50% of all ticket sales donated to BLAZE, a local charity founded by Hangloose instructors Ellen and Owen and their family in memory of their younger brother Benjamin, who tragically passed away from a rare and aggressive brain tumour (DIPG) in 2021 at the age of 11. Through BLAZE, the family funds research into childhood brain tumours, raises awareness of early symptoms, and provides support, gifts, and experiences for affected families, ensuring Benjamin’s memory continues to make a difference to the lives of others. 

Participants can fly solo or in pairs side-by-side to share the experience together. Free on-site parking, lockers, and designated viewing areas are available, and every participant will receive a Santa suit to wear during their flight - filling the skies with festive red as they zip for a good cause. 

Experienced instructors ensure every guest is fully briefed and equipped with top-quality safety gear before take-off, guaranteeing an exhilarating yet secure flight at both the Eden Project and Bluewater adventure centres. Accessible slots are available for disabled guests or those requiring extra assistance, with carers flying free to ensure everyone can join the fun.

Brian Phelps, Managing Director of Hangloose Adventure, says: “Christmas is about bringing people together and creating lasting memories, and that’s exactly what we wanted to do this year. Both activities are fantastic opportunities for family and friends to experience the magic of Christmas from the sky. The Night Flights at the Eden Project are a magical way to see the lights of Eden from a whole new perspective, while our Santa Flight at Bluewater has a really special meaning for the team here. Blaze Charity was founded by two of our own instructors in memory of their younger brother, so being able to support them and help raise money for such an important cause means a lot to all of us.” 

Alternatively, for those looking to give the gift of adventure this Christmas, Hangloose gift vouchers are available - valid for 12 months, with the option to extend for an extra 6 months for just £5. Digital vouchers can be sent instantly to your phone for last-minute gifting, or as a beautifully packaged physical voucher in a branded wallet. They can also be sent directly to the recipient, making them a thoughtful and flexible option for thrill-seekers this festive season. 

Vouchers for both parks can be purchased at https://hanglooseadventure.com/
