What Can I Expect

Enjoy exclusive Nottingham sightseeing by helicopter! Setting off from the heliport south of the city at Widmerpool, you'll see town and countryside on these tours - and what's more, it'll just be you in the chopper!

We are offering vouchers for up to three passengers to ride together on either a 25 or 45-mile trip. As it’s exclusive to you, you can have a say in where you fly. In fact, it's actively encouraged by the team at this Nottinghamshire heliport.

As you can imagine, the most popular request is to fly over your own house. If this is do-able within the flight duration (and subject to any permanent or temporary airspace restrictions), then it's on!

Other choices include heading over your place of work, your childhood home, or just going for a low-level cruise over the heart of the Nottingham city centre, or your favourite surrounding village.

The heliport base for these exclusive sightseeing tours is south of Nottingham at Widmerpool. Conveniently located just off the A46 Fosse Way, it's easy to get to from Nottingham, Loughborough and the whole of Charnwood, as well as the Melton and Rutland side too.

It’s actually purpose-built specifically for helicopters, which is pretty cool. There’s capacity for up to 16 helicopters, including crew facilities, meeting rooms, cafe, hangarage and refuelling services.

You're sure to feel like VIP passengers when you arrive at Widmerpool, especially when you're shown out to the executive chopper ready and waiting to whisk you and your private party off on your exclusive charter flight. Book your exclusive Nottinghamshire sightseeing flight by helicopter now!
