Derby Cathedral Abseil

Calling all daredevils and those with a head for heights, come and join us at Derby Cathedral as our charity abseil returns in October 2023.

For one day only, you’ll have the chance to climb the 189 steps to the top of the cathedral’s tower. Here you’ll be harnessed up, before climbing over the edge and abseiling the 212ft back down – you’re bound to feel an adrenaline rush afterwards!

This challenge will give you spectacular views across Derby as you stand at the top of the tower, the chance to see the clock-face up close as you abseil down, while every penny you raise in sponsorship will help make magical memories for local children and young people with life-limiting conditions.

Our abseil is available from 8am until 5pm -this event always proves popular with children and adults alike, so be quick – you won’t want to miss out!
