ABOUT US
We are an active and enthusiastic Flying Club with weekend and mid-week gliding thoughout the year, plus special events and activities.
Located on the ridge of hills that runs from Newbury in Berkshire to Pewsey in Wiltshire, just above Shalbourne village, Shalbourne Gliding was founded in the late 1970's by a group of individuals dedicated to sharing their passion for gliding with others.
We like to keep up this tradition: we're always welcoming new members to our club to take part in our activities. Simply, we love getting together to do what we love.
ABOUT US
We have a fleet of two-seater and single-seater gliders for training and solo flying.
Our team of qualified and enthusiastic instructors are ready to guide you through your first steps to flying or help you improve your existing skills.
We also have ample space for private owners to keep their gliders on our site and take advantage of our flying facilities.
Our setting in the glorious Wiltshire countryside affords breathtaking views, exhilarating soaring along our ridge and opportunities to fly cross-country in nearly every direction.
