Wingwalking

Get ready for the ride of your life!

Take to the skies on the top wing of a Boeing Stearman bi-plane and experience an exciting series of flypasts, zoom climbs, steep dives and banks over stunning Cotswold countryside. Don't just take our word for it, take it from Carol, one of our supporters who took on the challenge for Katharine House Hospice in 2021.

"I have wanted to do a wing walk for many years and it was an excellent opportunity to help our local hospice. Katharine House is a wonderful caring place and needs our help and support in whatever way we can. The whole day was well organised  and we were all looked after so well. Do not let age deter you! GO AND DO IT !!!!!"
