Balloon Flight - with Champagne

Availability

Monday to Sunday depending on location, all year but April to September are the best flying months. We advise planning 3-4 weeks in advance. However, availability varies through the year depending on demand.

Event Duration

The experience normally lasts for three to four hours, including one hour to inflate the balloon, around an hour in the air and one hour for packing the balloon away and returning to the launch site.

Adverse Weather

Ballooning is extremely weather dependent - it is crucial that you call the venue before your flight. If postponed, you'll be offered an alternative date and can also request an alternative location (please contact the operator to arrange).

Number of Participants

As a guide there will be between 8 and 16 people and the pilot in the balloon with you.

Spectators

Spectators are welcome to watch the launch (a wonderful sight) and wave you off. A pair of binoculars or a camera will come in handy.

What to wear

Wear trousers, long sleeves and sensible footwear (no high heels please). Please don't wear loose scarves or jewellery. Bring a hat - the heat from the burner overhead can be intense. Bear in mind that launch and landing sites can be muddy.
