Wellesbourne Airfield Flying Experiences
Wellesbourne Airfield is located just a few minutes flying time from historic Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of one of Britain’s and the world’s greatest writers, William Shakespeare, making it the perfect location to enjoy aerial views of the world-famous market town with a range of flying days and experiences to enjoy in the heart of the West Midlands. The story of how Wellesbourne Airfield came to be one of the most premiere destinations in the West Midlands for aviation enthusiasts starts back in World War II, when the UK Government purchased six acres of farmland in the village of Wellesbourne near Stratford-upon-Avon, which was surrendered by the Littler family farm to become RAF Wellesbourne Mountford in the summer of 1941. For sky high views of Shakespeare’s county, including Warwick Castle and the regency town of Royal Leamington Spa, Wellesbourne Airfield is the perfect location, as it is just a short five-minute drive from the M40 motorway and legendary Fosse Way.
Even closer still, and almost within touching distance from the end of the runway, is majestic Charlecote Park, where legend has it that Shakespeare was once caught poaching deer.

Terms and Conditions for Wellesbourne Airfield
Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.
Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).
In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.
