Ridgewell Airfield Flying Experiences

Those in Essex with a keen interest in gliding will find plenty to enjoy at Ridgewell Airfield. Located between the village of Ashen, on the border between Essex and Suffolk, Ridgewell Airfield is exclusively owned and run by the Essex Gliding Club. It is easily accessible from surrounding towns on both sides of the border, including Sudbury, Halstead and Haverhill. Recently, the Essex Gliding Club purchased part of the airfield, and it is now their home location for Gliding Experiences throughout the summer months. They also welcome flying enthusiasts to participate in their Flying Experiences where you can glide like a bird over the beautiful Essex countryside. Our East of England Flying Experiences page also has details of other airfields in the surrounding locale in both Essex and Suffolk, including Andrewsfield Aerodrome near Braintree and Beccles Airfield near Lowestoft, offering more ways to take to the skies, including Aeroplane Flying Lessons.

Terms and Conditions for Ridgewell Airfield

Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.

Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).

In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.

If you have any more questions about Ridgewell Airfield gift vouchers and experiences please contact us.
