Gliding is like nothing else…

Imagine harnessing the power of nature to soar across the open countryside whilst enjoying the fantastic views. By learning to glide, you will soon discover the possibilities of this truly amazing activity.

Using the same naturally occurring currents of air that birds use to fly, you can take to the skies in a two seat glider with a qualified instructor and enjoy this exhilarating experience no matter what your age, physical ability or background.

It’s flying that’s affordable and fun. Almost anyone can learn to do it. In the right conditions, gliders can stay up for hours, fly for hundreds of kilometres and reach heights of more than 30,000 feet!

Shalbourne Gliding is a not-for-profit Members’ Club, run by its members for its members. As a Community Amateur Sports Club, we are keen to make gliding available to everyone and we are always pleased to welcome visitors and introduce them to our wonderful sport.
