Welcome

Bowland Forest Gliding Club has owned its present 56 acre site since 1973, having previously operated from Squires Gate in Blackpool and Samlesbury Airfield.

We are situated at the Southern tip of the Forest of Bowland (designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). The local fells offer excellent soaring in most wind directions, with occasional wave an added bonus.

We operate every Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the year, weather permitting.

Trial Lessons

Soaring the local ridges.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to soar like a bird? Why not have a trial lesson with us?
Or, if you are looking for something a little different to give as a gift why not give a trial lesson voucher?
Vouchers are valid for 12 months and come with 8 weeks temporary club membership from the day of the flight. Allowing continued gliding at club rates. Find out more...
