Ski with Eddie The Eagle in Gloucester

14 June – Renowned Olympic ski-jumper, Eddie The Eagle, will be taking to Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre in June, and this is your chance to join him on the slopes at this one-off event.

Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards – dubbed ‘the world’s favourite loser’ – gained international recognition for his daring feats in the ski-jumping category in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. Now is your chance to take to the ski slopes with the man himself in Gloucester this June.

On Saturday 14 June, Eddie will be at Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre, where for £30 per head you can have two hours skiing with The Eagle, followed by a sit-down meal and a Q&A session with the inspirational have-a-go hero.

He’s Britain’s first – and only – Olympic ski-jumper, and British record-holder, and he even reached the number two position in the Finnish music charts with his single ‘Fly Eddie Fly’. With many-a story to tell, this is a great chance to hear from the Cheltenham-born, Stroud-living, legend himself.
