Accommodation and on-site Facilities
Facilities
The canteen operates at the airfield all weekend for hot and
cold drinks, breakfast, bacon or sausage cobs, sandwiches
and evening meals. During the week drinks and sandwiches are
available.
THE BAR
is open after jumping has finished each day. All skydivers
and parachutists are made members of the bar when they register
at BPS. We hold Parties with live bands and disco several
times a year, e.g. Bonfire Night, Christmas, Valentine's Day
(and any other excuse we can think up!). We also hold a Boogie twice each year:
a week-long skydiving party in May and September!
The BUNKHOUSE
has 6 rooms with four beds each. A £20 key deposit (refundable)
is payable and rooms cost £5 per night. There is also
a communal bunk area if you don't need privacy (this bit is
very basic, so bring a sense of humour!). There are showers
and washing facilities with hot water. No bedding is provided
in the bunkhouse, so you must bring a good sleeping bag.
You can book a room in the bunkhouse
HERE
CAMPING and
CARAVANNING sites are also
available on the airfield. The bunkhouse washing facilities
are available for your use.
Please note:
No Electrical, water, or sewage hook-ups are available.
