About this Event
SEA LIFE TRUST Descent for the Deep Blue 2026
We’re taking fundraising to new heights! Join us to abseil off the iconic Alton Towers ruins in the dark, all to protect our amazing oceans and the incredible creatures that call them home.
Every penny raised will go to SEA LIFE TRUST, helping to protect marine wildlife, care for rescued animals, and safeguard our seas for future generations.
Remember the £300 fundraising goal is just a goal and not mandatory!
