About

The Midland Gliding Club, founded in 1934, is one of the UK's oldest and most celebrated gliding clubs, perched on the legendary Long Mynd in Shropshire. Whether you're after a one-off First Flight experience, a summer weekday course, or a full gliding journey toward membership, the club offers tailored training for every level — from complete beginners to seasoned pilots. Accredited as both a Junior Gliding Centre and a Women in Gliding (WinG) club by the British Gliding Association, it's a welcoming, inclusive community where instructors design programmes around your goals. With on-site accommodation, catering, and 90 years of history, this is a truly special place to discover the joy of soaring.
