The Gift of Flight

Experience the Ultimate Adventure at Bidford Gliding & Flying Club!

Prepare to embark on a breathtaking journey through the skies like never before. Whether you’re treating yourself or giving the gift of flight, we promise an unforgettable adventure. Picture yourself soaring in a pure glider, towed into the heavens by a powerful aircraft. As you launch into the sky, you’ll feel the rush of excitement as you ascend to thrilling heights of 2000ft or 3000ft. This method, known as aerotow, offers an exhilarating start to your soaring adventure. Get ready for stunning views, the serene silence of gliding, and an unmatched sense of freedom. Your adventure awaits!

Flight vouchers never expire once the flight has been booked, irrespective of any subsequent changes to the booking. The initial booking should be made within 6 months of receiving the voucher.

We cater for what you want from your time with us, some simply just want to experience flight in a glider safe in the knowledge there is a highly experienced pilot at the controls. If your ambition is to learn to fly, then use your 28 day FREE membership to come back for subsequent lessons and your Instructor will demonstrate the controls and give you the opportunity to fly the aircraft.

Where will I be Flying?

You will take off from Bidford Airfield and as you climb higher you will be able to take in the wonderful views of the Cotswold Hills. The river Avon meanders beneath you winding its way through the towns of Bidford on Avon and Evesham, the higher you fly the more of the countryside comes into view, on clear days you can even see the River Severn estuary away in the distance!

Your Safety

When you arrive at the airfield you will be given a briefing by your BGA qualified IFP (Introductory Flight Pilot) about the Airfield and its activities, the glider you will be flying and your flight. They will explain the controls and their functions, the safety equipment you will be using during your flight. Your pilot will tell you what to expect during the take off, the aerotow, the flight itself and the landing back on the Airfield. Please also read the Safety Notes before the day of your flight. You will need to sign a copy of it before you fly.

What next?

Choose one of the Voucher options at the top to book your preferred experience. You will be taken to a booking form and payment process. A voucher will then be sent to you.

When you return from your flight you can visit our café for refreshments, or when the flying day is over, you can join us for a drink in our members’ bar if you wish to chat to us further about gliding over a beer - or your non alcoholic choice of beverage if you are driving of course!

Remember that you have 28 days complimentary membership included with your first experience flight, so if you catch the gliding bug like many do, then you’ll will be able to fly with us again at members’ rates.

We look forward to seeing you soon with your family and friends for your first air experience flight very soon!
