The Experience

Once in the air, your Hot Air Balloon will travel up to heights of several thousand feet, allowing you to gaze down upon villages, towns and the countryside and give you the opportunity to take amazing aerial photographs.
Views depend entirely on the wind direction on the day, which means every flight is a unique experience. Every balloon flight is round off with a champagne toast and you will receive a personalised commemorative flight certificate signed by the pilot, ensuring that the experience is one that will stay with you forever.

Vital Information

You must be sufficiently agile to climb in and out of the basket, which is about 42 inches (1.1 m) high and be able to stand for around an hour. Children must be at least eight years old and over 4'6" high (1.4m). A child under the age of 16 years will only be flown if accompanied by a responsible adult. Maximum weight is 18 stone (114kg). You should not fly if you are suffering from any significant medical conditions, or have recently undergone surgery. You may be asked to provide a certificate of your fitness to fly from your doctor or specialist. Also you must not fly if you are pregnant or under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

The Weather

The Hot Air Balloon Flight is highly weather dependent. Please be advised to phone the location prior to the flight to check weather conditions. If it is unsuitable, you simply rebook for another convenient day.

Session Length

The actual airtime is approximately one hour. Passengers and spectators are invited to participate in the pre- and post-flight preparation as a part of the experience. Please arrive at the meeting point on time. It will sometimes be necessary to transport you a short distance from the meeting point to an alternative launch site, depending on wind directions or local conditions. At the end of the flight you will be returned to the original meeting point. For this reason you must allow at least four hours for the complete experience.

Numbers

The Hot Air Balloon accommodates four people in the basket at any one time. The price mentioned is for two people to partake in the Hot Air Balloon Flight. Your experience may be shared by two other participants.

Spectators

Spectators are warmly welcomed to join the pre-and post-flight preparations. To enjoy the Hot Air Balloon Flight, please purchase additional vouchers.

Dress Code

You should wear clothing suitable for a country walk appropriate to the time of year, preferably of natural fibres. A hat or cap may be useful to protect your head from the heat of the burners. Waterproof walking shoes or boots are recommended. Space is restricted in the basket, so please avoid bringing large rucksacks and bags.

Availability

The Hot Air Balloon Flight is carried out during the hours between dawn and sunset, and is available from March until October. By exception flights are sometimes possible during the winter months. The Experience can be chosen to take place at any time during the week, weekend or evening.
