    The highlight will be a chance for teddies to parachute from the church tower between 2pm and 3pm on either day. Full training will be given to all bears. Parachutes will be provided but owners are welcome to provide their own if preferred. All teddies completing the jump will receive a bravery sticker for achievement.
