Gliding is a strange sport, at times it can be very cold and frustrating, other times unbelievably enjoyable and very rewarding. Peterborough & Spalding Gliding Club is now able to offer you the chance to experience the amazing thrills, and breathtaking scenery of powerless flight. On your first flight you will be taken up in one of the club's two seater gliders with an experienced instructor. A Tug Plane will take the glider up to the height of 2000ft. You will then release from the tug and set out to learn the basics of gliding. Your instructor will show you how to find 'thermals', which are rising currents of air the glider uses to stay airborne.

Your flight should last around 15-30 mins depending on the weather. After your flight you will be given a certificate and you will have membership of  the club for 2 months. This means you can come back within 2 months and have another flight(s) at club prices. Should you wish to carry on learning how to glide, you will then be able to purchase a year's membership at the club, giving you access to all the club's facilities. Should you join the club within the month then we will give you a 10% discount on the yearly membership fees. You can see the cost of membership and flights on our Prices page. For more information about Trial Lessons, get in contact with one of the people listed below, or come down to the club one weekend. You can find out where we are located on the where to find us page.

During the summer we can arrange group flying evening whether for a group of friends or work colleagues.
