We fly on weekends as well as Tuesdays and Thursdays from May to mid-September, which is the main gliding season when the weather has a chance of being sunny and not too windy. For the rest of the year, we fly regularly every Saturday and Sunday along with an ad-hoc day during the week, weather permitting. However, our planned days of opening don’t always match the English weather, especially in September and April, sometimes October and March, and occasionally all through the winter. We often open at short notice on days when the weather looks promising, if there enough members interested to make it worth while. You’re welcome to visit us on these extra days too, so if you think the weather might be good enough for flying, call the airfield between 9 and 10am on 01789 731095.

By Air

The airspace near Snitterfield is quite complex, because we are on the edge of the BHX approach zones. If you are intending to visit us by air, there are some Notes for Visiting Pilots that tell you what you need to know.
