Open Weekend 2026 – save the date!

When? Saturday and Sunday 13th-14th June, 2026

Where? Cambridge Gliding Centre, SG19 3EB

Have you ever wanted to fly? Come and check out what it’s like to fly silently, kept aloft simply by thermals (rising currents of air) floating above Cambridgeshire.

Free to visit and see the gliding! There’s plenty to see — launches, hangar tours, our simulator, and the gliders themselves (from the newest shiny fibreglass gliders, to our 75-year-old vintage glider Bluebell). We’ll have instructors on hand to explain how gliders are launched, how they stay aloft, and how Cambridge pilots fly hundreds of miles from Cambridge and back again — using the solar power of thermals alone.

If you want to fly, we’ll have trial flights available with our experienced team of instructors. You’ll start to learn to fly from your very first flight. And if you decide to learn to fly solo, we’ll have discounted club membership available too.

Let us know if you think you’ll come along, especially if you think you might want to fly.
