Impress your clients with a Unique Hovercraft Experience

glide3 hovercraft events

glide3 corporate hospitality

Outdoor activities have long been used as a great way to entertain clients, and build strong relationships. It's important that your clients have the best possible time, you want them to be talking about you and your company for a long time after the event.

The Glide3 Hovercraft experience is a perfect way to try out something completely different to the usual. Hovercraft work particularly well as they provide the outdoor element as well as a sense of adventure.

Everyone participating is on a level playing field, as most people have never driven a hovercraft before, and because it is very different to driving a car or a boat it provides a unique opportunity to learn a new skill and put those new skills into practise.

The best events are the one's that leave a lasting impression - and that is what you get with a Glide3 Hovercraft Experience

  We had a very enjoyable day at Glide3 - the clients and other bankers absolutely loved it and I wish you every continued success with the venture. Your organisation was most impressive and I've seen the photos today - fantastic!.

Many months have been spent finding you the best location for your hovercraft experience. To get the most out of your hovercraft event you must be able to fly on land and water. You will have exclusive access to this 6 acre lake in Essex. It is the perfect venue to relax and escape the city for a wonderful afternoon of fun, and laughter, in the glorious English countryside.

You have a choice of:

  • alfresco seating, and dining.
  • heated marquee, stylishly furnished with beautiful rattan furniture
  • bedouin yurt, fully heated, and filled with sumptuous furnishings
A more formal dining area can also be arranged, which can be moved out from the marquee if you prefer to enjoy your lunch closer to the lakeside. (weather permitting)

Glide3 events take place at an excellent Essex countryside location. The field includes a 6 acre lake that has been customised for hovercraft use.

Located approximately 40 miles from Central London, travel time from Central London is usually 40-50 minutes.

We can arrange for your group to be collected by a chauffeur driven luxury car service, dropped off at the location and collected after the day's event.


attention | to detail

luxury corporate hospitality

exclusive hovercraft events

It's the little things that make a difference. You expect high standards and we want to surpass those, its the difference between "make your own way there" to "we've organised a chauffeur driven Range Rover, with refreshments to pick you up". Or booking an exceptional chef to cook your food on site.

Because we place great emphasis on quality these events are best suited to small groups (groups of up to 8-10 people), that way everyone gets a full lesson and plenty of opportunity to practise on the course.

There are also opportunities to brand the hovercraft with your company logo, or brand clothing such as fleeces or caps please visit the promotions page.

If you have a larger group then let us know and we can discuss other options.
