Aberdeen Lions Nippy Dip 2026

We are delighted to announce that Aberdeen Lions Club Nippy Dip is returning for 2026!

When: Saturday 26th December (Boxing Day) at 10.30am (Registration from 10.00 am)

Where: Aberdeen Beach, starting from outside former Aberdeen Beach Leisure Centre - see Google Maps link for location: 

Registration Fee: £10 per person. Unfortunately due to changes made by Paypal we are no longer able to offer online payment of this at present and payment of the registration fee will be by cash only on the day.

IMPORTANT: Please note that due to the closure of the Beach Leisure Centre we will unfortunately be unable to offer changing facilities or toilets this year. Please ensure that you come appropriately prepared accordingly.

This is a charity dip to raise funds for charities or non-profit groups.

The Registration Fee covers the cost of organising the event and ensuring that appropriate safety and insurance coverage is in place etc. Any additional funds raised will be used for charitable donations (predominantly to local charities). 

Dippers are encouraged to raise further funds to support their own nominated charity (or The Lord Provost’s Charitable Trust). Other than donations that are to be made to The Lord Provost’s Charitable Trust, these should be paid directly to the charity or collected via online giving sites.

We strongly recommend pre-registering. With the numbers dipping, we cannot guarantee to register all Dippers on the morning of the Dip. We will NOT delay the Dip for late registrants.
