Ilfracombe Birdman 2018
The South West Birdman Competition has been running for more than 10 years in Ilfracombe and sees competitors jumping off the pier in an attempt to fly before crashing into the sea.
We rely on a lot of good will and we are always in need of brave or foolhardy jumpers to launch themselves off the pier.
The message to Ilfracombe and North Devon is Come and Support Birdman for a great day out for fun with family and friends!!
Organised by registered charity Ilfracombe Round Table, the day-long event attracts thousands of people to the town and raises money for local worthy causes.
As well as the main flying event, the South West Birdman Competition will also play host to a day long music festival, food stalls, an ale and cider festival, artisan market and children's entertainment
There will be children's entertainment, a bar and barbecue, food stalls, Artisan Market and much more besides.
