The King’s Mill Hospital Abseil Challenge

 

Are you brave enough to abseil down the side 
of King’s Mill Hospital to raise money for a good cause?  

 

On Friday 3 and Saturday 4 October the Sherwood Forest Hospitals Charity are hosting an abseil event to raise money to help fund schemes which will improve the lives of our patients, staff and visitors. You can find out more about the work of the charity on the charity webpage.   

The charity has teamed up with Big Bang Experiences -  a UK leader in height-based activities for over 30 years – to give you the chance to take a leap of faith and abseil down six storeys of King’s Mill Hospital. You can find out more about Big Bang Experiences on their website.
