Who We Are

Paragliding tuition: the premier flying school in Sussex!

Sussex Paragliding school offers Paragliding tuition & training by our dedicated team of BHPA qualified instructors throughout the year from its base on the South Downs, near Brighton, East Sussex. For a map see where we are (We're not too far from London !)

From our humble beginnings based in a loft on the outskirts of Brighton, Sussex, we have enjoyed a high degree of success over the last fifteen years, training and enthusing budding pilots to take to the air. Sussex Paragliding school has now developed into the largest flying centre in the South of England. A few of those early pioneers are now world class pilots. Some of them have come back to the nest to teach and pass on what they have learned on their travels. We not only run taster days and full courses in Britain, but also training courses in Spain, pilot and Cross country skills clinics in Tenerife, Turkey and Southern France.

Sussex Hang Gliding & Paragliding have appeared on TV several times over the years. We were chosen by the BBC's Holiday program to teach them to fly as we are not only the country's premier flying centre, but also situated in the heart of the beautiful South Downs National Park - with it's stunning scenery and fantastic flying potential. Brighton, Lewes, Eastbourne and many villages (such as Alfriston, voted Sussex's most beautiful village) are only a stone's throw away so it’s easy to make use of their potential. We are a BHPA registered flying school.
