Experience Gliding

The best way to experience gliding is to take a flight or two. On this page you will find Gliding Experiences that can be completed in a single visit to our airfield.
If you are interested in learning to fly a glider then take a look at our gliding courses instead. If you already fly powered aircraft or microlights then check out our PPL Conversion Course.

All of our flights are launched by aerotow and your pilot will be a UK CAA qualified gliding instructor. For our standard Trial Lesson you will be towed behind a powered aircraft to a height 2500ft above the airfield, this gives some time for you to take in the view and try the controls. This flight will deliver training needed to start you on your way to a Sailplane Pilot Licence.
As an upgrade, for those would like a fuller introduction to the glider and it’s controls, we offer the Go Higher extended trial lesson flight to 3500 feet above the airfield.
If you are interested in training as a glider pilot, you may prefer to spend more time on the airfield. Our Intro Course lasts half a day and this would give a better idea of what it will be like learning to glide.

All of these Experiences are available as gifts. A presentation gift voucher pack is available, or you can use the eVoucher that we provide with every flight purchase.

Although we prefer that Gliding Experiences are purchased directly from us, we do accept third party Experience Vouchers from The British Gliding Association. You will need to provide us with your voucher details before you can book on-line.
