Anytime shared hot air balloon flights over Oxfordshire! These premium vouchers mean you can book a weekend or weekday flight in a hot air balloon, departing from Stadhampton village in South Oxfordshire either early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
Your flight starts in the best possible way with a meet and greet over tea and coffee with pastries. After a safety briefing, you'll be invited to assist with preparing the balloon ready to fly - we highly recommend taking part as it's great fun and all part of the experience!
The basket on this 120ft-balloon is one of the largest in the country. The capacity is 22, but group sizes are kept to between 10 and 18 passengers, so everyone is comfortable and spread across the four compartments.
And it's worth pointing out at this moment that only altitude can be controlled in a balloon. This is done by using the burners to put hot air into the balloon. As for where you fly, it's simply where the wind takes you. And same for the distance - it all depends on wind speed!
So, from your base at Stadhampton, you could be floating at around 2000ft over many of the picturesque Oxfordshire villages, soaring over Oxford and maybe even seeing the lovely Chiltern Hills Area of Natural Beauty.
The landing part of your experience can be quite exciting (we won't say anymore here!). After being transported back to base by the balloon team, there's time for a nice little Champagne reception.
The hot air ballooning team in Oxfordshire is led by Chief Pilot Spencer Craze (great name, great job!). He has many, many years of experience piloting hot air balloons both home and abroad. The whole team works together to make sure you have an excellent hot air balloon flight over Oxfordshire!
