• Take to the Skies in a 'Must-Do' Experience
  • A Glass of Bubbly to Enjoy the Day With
  • Enjoy With a Loved One

Few can resist the attraction of tranquil beauty, especially with one hundred feet of Wispy Nylon majestically rising you to unimaginable heights. As you slowly take off you'll be more aware of the ground dropping away rather than any sensation of moving or rising. The feeling of peace and tranquillity is heightened by the apparent lack of wind - because you're moving with it. A truly magical experience that really encapsulates what it is to float with the clouds. Let all of your worries drift away as you float over a the beautiful patchwork landscape, sipping on a glass of champagne with a loved one.

Agenda
Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre you will begin with a short safety briefing before you can help to prepare inflate the balloon. Once all final checks have been completed you will be invited to climb into the basket and prepare for take off. It will often be incredibly smooth, and you probably won't even realise you've actually left the ground until you notice people and places getting ever smaller. It will be peaceful, with the occasional roar of the burners to keep you at altitude. After about an hour of flight time you will prepare for landing, which mightn't be quite as smooth as take off! You will finish off the experience by helping the crew to pack away the balloon, and return to the start point. You will end this fantastic experience by enjoying a Champagne Toast with a commemorative flight certificate presentation.

The flight lasts for about 1 hour, although you will need to leave up to 4 hours for the whole experience.
What to Wear / Equipment
No special clothing is required. Ordinary outdoor clothes suitable for the time of year will be fine. You will be taking off and landing in a field so comfortable, solid shoes are a good idea. No high heels ladies (and gents!!) Ladies are advised to wear trousers.
