The Gliding Centre

The Gliding Centre is based just outside Husbands Bosworth village, a short distance from junction 20 of the M1 or junction 1 of the A14, making it very easy to reach and locate.

We operate 7 days a week throughout the year (weather permitting). Visitors are most welcome at the airfield. Please do call in and watch the flying whilst having a drink or snack from our restaurant, or call in to discuss flying options/packages with our helpful office staff.

Gliding is suitable for all ages and the Club operates a number of “Youth” packages for young persons giving discounts and opportunities for both membership and flying charges whilst they are in full time education.

A typical summer’s day will see over 100 launches taking place with pilots flying cross-country and covering up to 250 miles in a flight.

Our airfield is sited in the heart of the country and is ideally located for good soaring weather. Minimal local airspace restrictions make for a superb cross country site with many visiting pilots from other clubs in the UK and overseas joining our members during the summer months. Indeed, we normally hold 1 or 2 competitions each year for 30 to 50 pilots who compete against each other to become national or regional champions.
