Story

Under the guidance of a professional wingwalking display pilot, our WingWalkers will fly on the top wing of a Boeing Stearman biplane, experiencing an exciting series of flypasts, zoom climbs, steep dives, and banks in front of their family and friends. As they taxi across the beautiful airfield ready for take-off, they will feel the overwhelming excitement from the roar of the 450hp engine and the propeller in front of them hitting speeds of 760mph. Their adrenaline will hit new heights as the aircraft builds momentum for lift-off. They will feel a sense of freedom as they fly, taking in the stunning views surrounding the airfield while waving to their loved ones down below. This is sure to be the ride of their life!

All while raising funds for Greenfingers Charity.

Greenfingers is a national charity dedicated to creating magical, therapeutic gardens for life-limited children and their families and carers to improve their time spent in hospices across the UK. Greenfingers aims to provide all life-limited children, their families, and carers, within their hospice, emotional support through the power and pleasure of nature.

We create beautiful, well-designed outdoor spaces for children to enjoy with their family, friends and siblings, whether through play and fun, or therapeutic rest and relaxation.

Greenfingers Charity is driven by the belief that time spent outdoors, away from the bedside, can offer children and families under considerable stress a vital opportunity to embrace the benefits of being in the fresh air and engaging with the natural environment.

We are committed to creating specially designed, stimulating garden spaces that can bring many benefits to children with life-limiting conditions. Whilst many people may take for granted the simple pleasure of being able to enjoy a garden, for these children, their siblings and their families, the chance to spend time together outdoors and away from the bedside is precious.
