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
