Hot-Air Ballooning with Manor Farm Aerial Adventures

Make your dreams come true by flying gently as a bird above some of Southern England's most beautiful countryside and famous landmarks in comfort, style and safety. Breath-taking views and the thrill of floating effortlessly with the wind will leave everlasting memories of this unique experience.

 

Flights take place throughout the year, but are more restricted during the winter months because of weather conditions. However, each season offers another dimension to flying. Scenery constantly changes from the red leaves of autumn, white frosts of winter, new life of spring and the balmy warm days of summer.

 

We can offer two main options for your Hot-Air Ballooning Adventure:

  • Take an exclusive celebration champagne balloon flight for two people and fly from Manor Farm

  • Join a scheduled commercial flight (10 to 12 passengers per flight) from local launch sites including Swindon, Hungerford, Devizes and Salisbury.

Booking: Stay at Manor Farm B&B and receive not only a preferential rate for your flight, but preferential treatment as well! For early-morning flights we provide a two-stage breakfast - something simple to keep you going when you first get up, then a sumptuous cooked breakfast on your return.

Location: For exclusive charters, Manor Farm Airstrip (or other local launch sites depending on the weather). For scheduled commercial flights, either Swindon (30 mins), Hungerford (20 mins), Devizes (25 mins) or Salisbury (30 mins).

They use modern balloons supplied exclusively by the world's leading manufacturer. Their internationally experienced pilots, headed by chief pilot Phil Hossack, a former World Championship Member, are amongst the best in the world.
