What is the best way to spend Christmas morning? By running in the icy cold North Sea with your loved ones wearing your most festive outfit of course! Mark your calendars on December 25 for St Elizabeth Hospice’s Christmas Day Dip 2025, a celebration of joy, hope, and community.

Happening at South Beach, Felixstowe, join hundreds of other good-natured dippers splashing around in the cold waters while wearing candy-cane-striped tights, giant bow hats, reindeer onesies, and tinsel garland necklaces. Funds raised from this event will go to St Elizabeth Hospice, a charity who cares for patients, and their families, with life-limiting illnesses in the East, Mid-Suffolk & into Great Yarmouth and Waveney region.

Christmas Day Dip returns for 2025!

Sign up to our annual tradition and join hundreds of other dippers in festive outfits plunge themselves into the icy cold North Sea at Felixstowe to raise vital funds, through sponsorship, for St Elizabeth Hospice. Your fundraising will help us to deliver free care to over 4,000 patients and their families a year throughout East & Mid Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney.

Did you know that there have been studies about cold water therapy dating back to Ancient Greece, and even Ancient Egypt? According to these studies, cold water has therapeutic purposes such as reduced pain in sore muscles and improved mental well-being. Make this extra Christmas an extra bbrrr-illiant and heartwarming one as you join St Elizabeth Hospice’s Christmas Day Dip 2025. Get your tickets to this event here now.
