About the experience
Take to the skies at the charming and welcoming gliding club based at Warwickshire's Bidford Airfield, nestled in the picturesque Vale of Evesham. Conveniently accessible from Birmingham, Worcester, Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Stratford-upon-Avon, this club offers the perfect location for gliding enthusiasts in the Midlands. Experience the thrill of gliding with unparalleled views that encompass the stunning beauty of the Severn Estuary and the Cotswold Hills. Glide in serene silence and revel in the breathtaking landscapes below on a clear day. At this Evesham club, indulge in a range of aerotow gliding experiences, including the option to be released from the tug plane at 2000ft. Discover the fascinating phenomenon of finding 'lift' in certain air conditions, enabling you to soar to greater heights beyond your starting point without motorized power. Climb aboard the tandem-configured gliders, allowing students to take the front seat with a commanding view, while the skilled instructor occupies the rear cockpit. Marvel at the unobstructed views of the River Avon, Bidford, and Evesham below.
