Forth Bridge Abseil

Edinburgh, East and Fife
28 Sept 2025

Experience the thrill of a lifetime – and support children with life-shortening conditions across Scotland. 

Join us for the Forth Bridge Abseil, an unforgettable challenge that lets you abseil free-fall style (just like the S.A.S.!) from Scotland’s most iconic landmark – the Forth Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Standing 165ft above the Firth of Forth, you’ll descend onto the soft sands of the stunning South Queensferry beach below. It’s Scotland’s most spectacular abseil experience – and a memory you’ll treasure forever. 

 

Why abseil for CHAS? 

Every pound you raise helps Children’s Hospices Across Scotland continue to offer vital care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families. This is your chance to take on an incredible personal challenge – and make a life-changing difference.

 

What we ask of you 

In return for a £30 discounted registration fee, we’re asking all our amazing participants to pledge to raise at least £185 in sponsorship – but there’s no limit to how high you can aim!

 

What you’ll get: 

  • A place on this bucket list challenge
  • free CHAS t-shirt to wear with pride (sizes XS–4XL)
  • Full fundraising support and encouragement from Team CHAS
  • The chance to make a real, lasting impact
