Welcome to The Derbyshire & Lancashire Gliding Club

Time to shake off the winter blues? Why not learn to fly this summer for just £395*


With so much economic uncertainty and rising fuel surcharges, it makes sense to consider a summer break right here in England. Our six night, five day residential gliding courses are designed to get you in the air and flying an aircraft ... Fast

Camphill is just the place for you to experience the magic of glider flight - to actually soar like a bird over the Derbyshire countryside.

Camphill is a hill top gliding airfield flanked by ridges on the west side and to the south. The airfield is 3/4 mile long North-South and 600 yards wide East-West. It is an all grass airfield with a well kept smooth surface. There is a hard core perimeter track for easy access to all parts of the airfield.

Converted from the buildings of Camphill Farm, a Derbyshire hill farm - the clubhouse provides excellent facilities by normal gliding club standards. Bar, dining room, lounge/clubroom, TV, email, etc.. Why not learn to fly fast on one of our 5 day residential Gliding Holidays. Gliding Holiday Courses are an excellent way to accelerate your learning. You are immersed in club activities from the moment you arrive until the last minute of your final day.  To check available dates call 01298 871270 

* Price quoted is for the flying element of the course and excludes full board accomodation. total package price including board - £595
