About Gliding and Microlighting experiences

Our Microlights and Gliders will bring you as close as possible to the sensation of free flight. Share the dual controls of an ultra-modern glider with your instructor and swoop silently across air currents, or why not take flight in a Microlight - the new light aircraft taking the flying world by storm?

All our experiences include expert tuition and a qualified instructor will accompany you or your friend throughout the flight, so go ahead and book that extra-special flying experience knowing you'll be in safe hands.

Facts about gliding and microlighting

  • Gliding has been around for a long time: there are some suggestions that a true glider was made in the 5th Century BC by a chap called Lu Ban in Ancient China.
  • One of the first hang gliders was made by Abbas Ibn Firnas (in what is today Southern Spain). He attached feathers to a wooden frame and some reports have him making a ten minute flight. Buyagift does not recommend you follow this course of action; Abbas seriously hurt his back when he realised that he'd forgotten to practice landing. Whoops.
  • Microlights are good candidates to be electrically-powered in the future - offering a potentially environmentally friendly way to enjoy flight.

Some of our gliding and microlighting experiences




Gliders, sailplanes, they are wonderful flying machines. It's the closest you can come to being a bird.

Neil Armstrong


Gliding Discovery Flight

Our Gliding Discovery Flight Experience is your chance to grab hold of a glider at beginners level and really get to grips with the amazing freedom of gliding across air currents with your instructor right beside you. A full briefing will be given and your instructor will move at your own pace - you can even sit back and enjoy the amazing experience and have them do all the hard work for you.

Customer Reviews of our gliding and microlighting experiences

I must admit when I first received my microlight flight I was feeling very nervous as I don’t have the best head for heights and didn’t know what to expect but thought I had to give it a try. I’m very glad I did as words cannot explain what it feels like to fly through the air in a microlight. I will definitely be doing this again.

Katie Wade, London

This was an excellent new experience. The staff were very pleasant and the pilot was incredibly informative. I really enjoyed gliding and would love to do it again. Highly recommended!

Helen Sheath

I've never used a glider before although I've had some flying lessons in a plane. This was a whole new experience, the glider is incredibly light and kind of rides on the airwaves so whilst actually gliding you feel weightless and almost like a bird. Can definately see why gliding is such a popular hobby and am considering taking some glider lessons to earn a license
