Our ladies only Topless Swim is back in 2026! 🏊♀️💦💜
Join us on Sunday 29th November 2026 for a dip in the historic tidal pool at Tunnels Beaches in Ilfracombe. It’ll be refreshing. It’ll be empowering. It’ll be a brilliant way to promote body positivity, help power up local NHS cancer services and fly the flag for breast care awareness.
We’ve opened registration early this year with a special early bird price of just £20 until January 31*. Places are limited to 350 women and tickets include entry to the iconic Tunnels Beaches, a goody bag, and a mug of hot chocolate on the beach to warm up after your dip.
In return, we ask you to try to raise £100 in sponsorship in support of local NHS services. The Royal Devon Hospitals Charity team will support you every splash of the way. You can also find some great fundraising tips to get you started on our website, as well as a downloadable fundraising toolkit.
The event will be fully-supported by an all-female crew of lifeguards. The Breast Cancer team from North Devon District Hospital and Fern Centre cancer wellbeing team will also be on hand on the day to offer advice about breast cancer screening and early detection, as well as provide information about the care and support available.
