About the experience

Get yourself a taste of what gliding is all about with this 30 minute experience at a friendly and experienced flight club at Husbands Bosworth Airfield. Instructors here have been introducing people to gliding here since 1963 and they have over 30 British Glider Association qualified pilots on hand to make the experience as smooth as possible for you. Rest assured you will be in very capable hands as you sit back and enjoy the ride once you’ve gained momentum and settled in the air. Once you get acquainted with the aircraft after a safety briefing you’ll be able to appreciate the wonderful views over Husbands Bosworth as you take in the sights of the Leicestershire countryside. If you find yourself starting to get curious about what it’s like to fly a glider, your instructor may even let you have a taster with the controls. However, if you’re just after enjoying a soaring experience and relaxing in the air, you can certainly do this too. After exploring the immediate views after the airfield, you even have the opportunity to explore a variety of areas such as Market Harborough, Foxton Locks or Wistow Maze on your route. Everyone should experience the unique thrill of silent flight at least once in their lifetime, and with this trial taster session with handfuls of knowledgeable instructors on hand to make your experience memorable, you don’t need to look any further.

K Poultney
Gliding experience at The Gliding Centre Husbands Bosworth was fantastic. A Well organised very friendly club, but did have to wait for suitable weather, third time lucky.
Julian Baker
Weather was perfect and pilot found lots of thermals to give me a great gliding experience. Enjoyed taking the controls. Well organised flight with a good comprehensive pre flight safety briefing. Would definitely go again.
Alan Reed
Great smooth Booking experience.The event was out of the world and very enjoyable.
Jon
Super experience, had a great time and did everything I wanted to do.Booking frictionless and all staff friendly and helpful.Just a shame the experience itself was a little shorter than I expected it was going to be, perhaps down to weather conditions.
Tracy Oliver
Had a fabulous time gliding. All very well organised. Breathtaking experience.
Mike
I chose to go gliding. I had never done it before and I had a great time. The folks at the gliding club looked after me really well and I took the controls a couple of times. Tremendous experience
Ray Rouse

Lin Catt
Great air tow glider flight and excellent input and instruction from Martin the pilot...All in all amazing...
Paul McMellon
Easy and friendly to book
Mark Fish
A great and novel experience which I thoroughly enjoyed. In the capable hands of pilot Dave Lambert, I felt safe and confident. Dave gave me a thorough briefing and explained all aspects of our glide and I took the controls on several occasions. I went up fully expecting that weather conditions would only allow us 15 mins in the air but thanks to Daves skill we were up for 35 mins. Fantastic
Bill
