For nearly 20 years Balloons Over Britain have been serving the UK, providing exquisite and informative hot air balloon rides in all of our most beautiful locations. They are Britain’s most trusted and longest established balloon flight operator with an endless network of members offering flights nationwide, from Scotland to the South West and Wales.
It’s amazing how far technology has come since the 17th century. It’s strange to think that this colossal mass of fabric fuelled by propane burners which we see floating through our skies today, valves, baskets, cylinders and all, was once someone’s crazy experiment. In September 1783, a scientist named Pilatre De Rozier, invented and launched the first hot air balloon. But there were not the excited faces on board that you see today, oh no, the 'Aerostat Reveillon' had on board a sheep, a duck and a rooster. This first attempt and the future beauty of the skies came crashing to the ground after just 15 minutes. But it was a start...the start.
Today, with companies like Balloons Over Britain, you can travel in full safety and style with a choice of over a dozen member ballooning companies. They ensure that all of their member companies are properly certified, professional hot air balloon operators of the highest quality with years of experience in the field. Where ever it is you want to go and no matter where you are located, Balloons Over Britain have a member balloon operator nearby and a flight location to spoil you.
The process is very simple; you can order balloon vouchers directly through the website and all you have to do next is contact your local operator to schedule your flight. It couldn't be more straight forward than this; you simply use your voucher with any of the Balloons Over Britain members making the process, quicker, easier and more convenient.
Reviews include "The whole experience was very easy. You can book on their site, which details basically anything you need to know about ballooning, or you can call their office. It was great having the choice to fly anywhere in the UK (endless list of locations), and it was really easy to arrange the day we wanted to fly." And "What you can see from a balloon is unbelievable! Having flown in various aircrafts before, this is certainly one of the most special ways to see the country. Balloons Over Britain were fantastic to deal with, and they were very friendly and helpful. On the day, the great experienced crew and pilot certainly calmed any pre-launch doubts I had. We are hoping to balloon again next year."
Balloons Over Britain - where you can experience the awesome thrill and peaceful serenity of hot air ballooning. We offer hot air balloon rides from more than 70 launch sites throughout the UK via a network with over 40 hot air balloons and 14 member companies who cover most of the flyable areas of the country.
Why not advertise your business on a balloon? Balloons are innovative and attention-grabbing media vehicles and therefore a great way of advertising and promoting you brand or product. Everybody would notice a balloon in the sky. Then the publicity generated at balloon fiestas, major sporting occasions, outdoor shows and events that attract television coverage, balloons provide ideal opportunities to create interest in a product or organisation. Not only do balloons develop awareness and interest, they are also capable of generating desire and action in almost any target audience. The launch and landing of a hot air balloon will always draw a crowd of onlookers whether it is 6000 at a village fair, 60,000 at a major festival or country show or millions if the event is televised.
Balloons Over Britain offer wedding packages in Florida, which includes a one-hour flight (which can include the actual ceremony), Champagne toasts on landing, full buffet breakfast and a wedding cake.
