CHARITY ABSEILS
We run all types of adventure events for businesses and charities, which can be used for a fun team building experience or as a way of raising money. A charity abseil is a great first adventure event, and can be run over a single day or two days. Another similar option we run is a zip wire event.
We can run charity abseils and abseil events of all shapes and sizes. Because everything from equipment and risk assessments, to marquees, catering and photographers is provided, all you need to do is relax and enjoy the day.
Organising an abseil event is a great way to raise some money and awareness for the company or charity you are representing. On average, a charity abseil event will raise between £4,000 and £80,000 per day.

Genesis Trust – “Definitely 5 stars ++ for an amazing two days of abseiling from the top of Bath Abbey tower. Dave, Robyn and Dean were fantastic to work with and they made the experience very special for all the abseilers who took the challenge. I would whole heartedly recommend Dave Talbot – Adventure Events for such events.”

We both abseiled 100 ft down St John the Baptist church tower.
This fabulous event ran so smoothly, with excellent safety training prior the actual abseil.
I myself was extremely nervous of heights but the thorough training and encouragement from both Dave & Mark gave me the confidence in achieving a goal during my “year of yes”.Many thanks to Dave Talbot and the community of Chipping Sodbury that not only welcomed us but also supported us. Nick & Sue (Melbourne)
He has created an AMAZING company.
We have already raised a phenominal amount of money to help rebuild part of Exeter Cathedral £53,000 and it is still counting until the end of May.
Thank you, Dave, for realising my dreams!
I'll be back!! ?
I contacted Dave with the crazy idea to organise a climbing day for my partner's birthday. In February. In the UK. Specifically - Bristol.
This was a feat that no one would normally accept, given that weather conditions, rock conditions and the activity being a bit risky (if you're not in the right hands) could end up being a trip to l'Hospital.
However, Dave answered the call, was really responsive and sent us Dan.
Somehow rain managed to avoid the one area we were climbing that day - (Avon Gorge: the main wall and central buttress). Rish and I learned so much from abseiling, placing gear, setting up anchors and being more on it with our communication/ calls. It was great to end the day climbing up placing trad gear and learning the mechanics of multipitch by setting up a 4 pitch climb on the Central Buttress with Dan beside us.
Both Dave and Dan have been really helpful in making sure that my other half had an awesome birthday weekend doing something we both love - climbing outdoors - and re-discovering a new side to the adventure possibilities in trad and multipitch. Thank you so much!
Great job
Really good communication prior to the race. The route was beautiful, the medals are fabulous and the travel cup is brilliant.
I was one of the slower racers and it was so lovely to have people cheering and klaxons sounding as I approached the finish, and to have my medal placed over my head. There was a wonderful party atmosphere. The support for the final finisher was great too.
Lost one star for minor reasons: I would have loved a burger van or something substantial at the finish, the massage people were packing up at 4hrs, and the finish aid station was a bit bare, except for the wasps having a picnic. But, I would happily do this race again.

I love this event, definitely one of my favourite events and I have done it twice so it must be good! Fabulous venue, beautiful and challenging course along the river Wye, amazing volunteers and great aid stations. I love that it is inclusive for slower runners with a very generous cutoff time as well, so I knew I could enjoy and take lots of photos. Definitely would recommend! Also love the merch and the medal is epic!


My first ultra event and second event with Dave Talbot Events.
What can I say?
The team are a fantastic bunch, well organised, vast experience and made me feel so welcome throughout.
I’d recommend this team very much and have just signed up for another run with them in September.
I actually sustained an injury on this ultra, nothing too major but enough to retire after 30km.
Yes I was disappointed, the team had nothing but praise and warm feedback, even giving me a consolation medal so when I asked about doing this again, the staff encouraged me to do so.
I can’t say enough how well drilled they all are and how much fondness I have for them all, hoping to see them soon and trust me, do an event like this with them and you will not regret it.
It was apparant everyone on the team knew their stuff. They knew how I was was feeling and what I needed, through their own experiences. This made it a very safe space and also very welcoming and warm. It really did feel like we were one big family. Absolutely loved the community spirit of this event! If you are considering a challenge, Dave Talbot and his team are your people!

Dave’s an inspiring mountain leader with boundless energy and (seemingly) limitless good humour, great skills and a plan for everything.
Everyone had great fun and it was a totally relaxed and the perfect introduction to high altitude mountaineering (in sunny, spectacular Morocco).
Dave has amazing attention to detail - every aspect of the trip had been thought about, ensuring a safe but exceptionally fun, relaxed time for all. Loved the enthusiasm, sharing of tips & skills along the way.
Highly recommended to go on any trip with Dave. Im certainly looking forward to my next one 😉

Well organised and great group of people.
Dave and his team made the day so much more enjoyable, they were very organized, caring and so friendly that it made me feel so relaxed in their company knowing that they put our safety first and making sure the participants feel comfortable and no one gets left out!
I would highly recommend Dave’s company if you are looking for a challenge, you will definitely succeed with their encouragement, and you will have a great time!! Also the support vehicle has Loads of treats… not to mention the very yummy chocolate ginger cakes!
Once again thank you for a memorable day, it really was a great day!
Will be looking at you other programmes, probably Snowdonia next? Who knows but definitely looking forward to taking part in your other challenges!!
I said about 4 times, I cannot do it, even stood on the edge, and they encouraged me and told me I could, and I did!!! It was scary but amazing, I could not have done it without Dave stood at the top telling me its okay and I can do it.
They are a totally professional, amazing team, and I would recommend then to anyone that wants to abseil but is a bit unsure about it, you will get the support to help you over come your fears and do it! Brilliant experience, brilliant team! Thank you so much!
Dave is extremely knowledgable, meticulous, fun and interesting, which made for an outstanding adventure.
Time to start planning the next one!
Thanks Dave.
The course, was fantastic, after 10k it really ramped up as described in the course description ! Certainly not easy but achievable. I am 54, my wife the same age. Far from youngsters but we loved it. I was an hour behind the winner, so need to adjust my training for next year slightly !! There was no time pressure to finish and my wife found that a good thing as she was a bit worried about timings but all finishers were welcomed in with the bells & whistle just the same, first or last. Views from on top of the hills had to be seen to be believed. The effort was certainly worth it and we felt a massive sense of pride once the race was conquered, and got a nice medal & Tshirt as a reminder. We will be back !
Definitely looking forward to the next one.
Fantastic event! Well organised and sign post route!
I must admit it’s a tough terrain for amateur like myself. Thanks for all your patience as we were the last lot to cross the line. The two tail runners are absolute Star, they’re so patient and helpful all the way!
All in all we had a great day and pleased that we had done it!
I absolutely love love love the medal! My absolute favourite so far! Once again massive thanks to you and your team!
Definitely recommend to those wanting a fun action packed few days away in nature.
Dave was very helpful with excellent communication running up to the event. The day itself was great fun and well organised, providing all the support we needed (including photos and cake!) All aspects of the day were well planned for which meant he was able to cope really well with our group of different fitness levels. We had a great day and raised lots of money for our chosen charity! Medals and quickly uploaded photos at the end of the day were the icing on the cake. Thank you!
We like it so much we keep engaging Dave to take our Dad & Daughters Activities group on bespoke days out.

My brother and I came from an indoor top roping background and were quite worried about our lack of experience in the great outdoors and lead climbing safely. Dave explained in an email that the key is getting the basics and theory correct and getting the mileage in to gain confidence and he was absolutely right! We were both really impressed with how Dave took us from complete novices to confident beginners!
Dave went over and above what we were expecting, from starting with the absolute basics where we wanted to check our existing habits with him and we were better able to correct ourselves and understand why these processes are safe. I think a lot of climbing courses we have done before are instructed at a very basic level and aimed towards children, and Dave's style of instructing was able to meet us at our level and was a great balance of knowledge and experience,
Dave picked a really good day and location for the climbing which made the day that much more enjoyable. During the day we tried lots of different scenarios giving us really good experience, we also had the opportunity to try different belay devices and other equipment and Dave was very helpful in going beyond the basics to slightly more advanced knowledge which will be very useful in the future, and also gives us more confidence that if we can overcome problems on our own and really how we should be thinking in order to have fun and climb safely.
It was a really great day, Dave was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and was really fun to have around whilst also instilling lots of knowledge in us and gave us a great experience of real outdoor climbing and I must say he managed to encourage us on even when we were quite high up in a desperate situation, which at the time I was thinking "Dave, I am really stuck" but he was really good at instilling the confidence to keep pushing on, which is something I think will stay with us for the rest of our climbing journey. Thanks Dave!


If you want to learn how to climb i couldn't recommend Dave's services and Simon's instruction enough!

My husband and I were supported to achieve more than we'd expected, whilst feeling safe at every turn. Definitely finished the second day happy to go out and tackle simple trad routes independently now, which was exactly what we'd set out to learn.
Happy to recommend, and would (probably will!) use again. 🙂

Dave is an excellent teacher, gives clear advice and great tips. He made the day fun, crafted a plan that worked on what we needed most and followed up with some great links and further info for us to read through.
Couldn't recommend him highly enough!





Professional, friendly, organised and fun. Would definitely use them again.




The service was very reasonably priced and I would happily come here for future learning!

On top of this, they were always teaching us important mountain skills, with demonstrations and giving everyone the chance to practice these skills in a safe and fun but relevant environment. I also thought they were excellent at tailoring the experience to different peoples wants and needs. A personal example: i was keen to learn more about ice-climbing. Dave had clearly noted this and took the time to discuss extra ice-axe techniques with me, even hanging out by a frozen waterfall at the end of a long day to teach me a few skills in-depth!
Without a doubt my favourite adventure holiday of the year - i'm already looking to book another one with Dave in the New year!
Highly recommended.


I have copied in an email from one of our abseilers...
"I just wanted to thank you for a great time on Saturday . The wonderful friendly greeting from you and you team was a delight and made a super start to the day.
Dave Talbot and his team are also to be congratulated on a job very well done , their approach and banter put us all at ease - or as much as one can when walking backwards off a tall building !
Please put my name of your list for any similar events in the future and I hope you raise a stack of money !
Best wishes
PS I assume the coffee was laced with valium or I would not have enjoyed the drop so much !"


From the outset Dave was very helpful with the administrative side of the event and on the day he was very proactive and very friendly, calming anyone who was nervous.
I would recommend Dave and his team to anyone who was thinking of running a Challenge event and Noah's Ark Charity look forward to booking the event next year. Dave keep the good work up and the excellent standards you have.

From the outset he was proactive, friendly and incredibly helpful, not only finding us a venue but roping in (no pun intended) some extra participants on the day too.
Having sworn I would never abseil, I found myself feeling so relaxed and safe with the guys that not only did I complete the 130ft challenge, I did it three times... thank heaven for the photos they took to prove it!
If you're looking for someone to help you with an adventure look no further. From start to finish the process was fun, easy and cost-effective - I have no hesitation in recommending them and look forward to finding some more activities we can get involved in.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT OUR CHARITY ABSEILS
Dave Talbot’s brilliant team ran our abseil down Canonteign falls for Home Start Exeter & East Devon. Leading up to the event Dave provided timely information and made the process very smooth, always willing to answer our questions. On the day Robyn & team could not have done more. In all nothing was too much trouble and this team were a delight to work with.
I am a challenges fundraiser for a local charity and we used Dave Talbot Adventures to organise a weekend of abseils. Dave Talbot and his team exceeded any expectations. On the build up to the event Dave was always contactable and happy to answer any questions. At the event him and his team knew exactly what they were doing and made the event flawless. we had 80 abseilers over the weekend and the team ensure not only each and everyone did it but also that they felt safe and enjoyed their experience. We have had so much positive feedback about Dave and his Team. Couldn’t recommend them higher. we will be using them again.
Definitely 5 stars ++ for an amazing two days of abseiling from the top of Bath Abbey tower. Dave, Robyn and Dean were fantastic to work with and they made the experience very special for all the abseilers who took the challenge. I would whole heartedly recommend Dave Talbot – Adventure Events for such events. Thank you.
A massive thank you to Dave and Dave for their hard work, enthusiasm and reassurance on Saturday at our charity abseil for Dreams Come True. The day was a huge success and the weather was really on our side. We had some extremely nervous volunteers, however both Dave and Dave did really well in making everyone feel comfortable and answered any questions that we had. I would definitely use Dave Talbot again for future sponsored events and would recommend his company to anyone interested in organising an event! Thank you so much from all of us at Dreams Come True!
Dave and his team hosted a charity abseil for us in London a couple of weeks ago and we couldn’t have picked a better person to help us. From the outset he was proactive, friendly and incredibly helpful, not only finding us a venue but roping in (no pun intended) some extra participants on the day too. Having sworn I would never abseil, I found myself feeling so relaxed and safe with the guys that not only did I complete the 130ft challenge, I did it three times… thank heaven for the photos they took to prove it! If you’re looking for someone to help you with an adventure look no further. From start to finish the process was fun, easy and cost-effective – I have no hesitation in recommending them and look forward to finding some more activities we can get involved in.
The Ipswich Hospital Charity organised a Charity Abseil, Dave and his team were the company who hosted it. They were professional in the lead up, ensuring our estates team here at the hospital were happy. They gave the charity team the information I needed for participants and tips on how to organise the days. On the weekend they were fully committed to the safety of our staff, volunteers and most importantly the participants. The sense of comradery and banter between the participants and Dave’s team was felt by all. With particularly nervous people they took the time to ease their fears and everyone made it down the building finishing with a smile and a sense of achievement. I want to say a BIG thank you to Dave and his team for making this event, not only a success, but so fun too! Would definitely recommend them to others thinking of hosting a charity event.
We used Dave Talbot and his team for our charity abseil at Canonteign Falls for the Brain Tumour Research Charity. On arriving on site all the setting up work had been done by the team ready for the participants.
The instructions for the abseilers and equipment were first class. The team on the falls themselves were very professional and supportive of some very nervous people. Around it was a wonderful event helped by a superb team. Thank you so much Dave. We will be using your services again. Peter Jordan – South West Regional Fundraising Manager Brain Tumour Research.
It would be an understatement to say the Abberley Hall Clock Tower Abseil event exceeded my expectations. Two things really impressed me:
1 several of the other participants were registered blind (so my remaining fear went immediately), and
2 Dave Talbot and his team were exceptional in putting everyone at ease. He explained to everyone exactly how to proceed down the rope in a precise and clear manner and had a rapport that instilled confidence and humor. This was no mean feat when many of the participants – had little or no sight, and were taking part for the first time.
Dave and his team hosted Noah’s Ark Charity Dangle event Sunday 16th October 2016 from Newport Transporter Bridge and we couldn’t have picked a better team of instructors to help us..
Just wanted to say a very big thanks to yourself, Dave and Marcus for a brilliant day yesterday! Great success! As a district of 12 stores allowing us to do the Abseil at Peel Tower we will of raised around £4,500 for comic relief!

If you are a charity and thinking of running a charity abseils event, here is some top information to help you get your event off the ground.
Click here for an article I wrote on how to organise an abseil event.
In the world of climbing, abseiling is a way of getting back down what you’ve just climbed up. You use a rope to lower yourself down, and can control how fast or slow you descend, whilst being on an additional safety rope controlled by an instructor.
Given the heights involved, it’s a great personal challenge for many people, but one you can undertake in complete safety. Most people don’t realise that even if you let go of the rope you won’t fall. This is due to the two rope system that we use to keep you and your team safe.
