More details to be released soon but we can confirm the dates for the 2026 UK HD Record attempts will be the 29th-31st August, over the bank holiday weekend at Skydive Langar.

Whilst we're excited to try and set a new record next year, this is just one step towards the ultimate goal of building a 50 way in 2027. So the focus behind the events will be on building the wider team and getting as many people as possible up-skilled and current for that. This means there is plenty of time to get involved even if you're at the start of your HD journey.
