Gliding Trial Lessons

   

What's on offer

We are offering a lifetime experience to fly like a bird by giving the public the opportunity to fly in a two-seater dual controlled "vintage" glider with a fully qualified BGA (British Gliding Association) instructor.
 
Come to Sackville to discover the joy of soaring flight. You will sit in the front seat of one of our 2-seat training gliders, have the controls demonstrated to you and be invited to take the controls yourself - under the watchful eye of one of our experienced instructors. But beware.. soaring flight is very addictive !
