BRAVE bears will be skydiving off a church tower in a bid to get their paws on a cash prize.

The Brantham Teddy Bear Parachute Challenge is returning to the village on Saturday, June 29.

The highly anticipated annual event sees teddies harnessed to homemade parachutes plunge from the top of St Michael’s Church, in Rectory Lane.

Registration for teddy bear parachutists will open at 9.30am on the day with the first jump taking place at 9.45am.
