Launch Sites

A Hot Air Balloon flight makes the perfect Anniversary, Birthday or Christmas gift for someone special or loved one or even for a little bit of self indulgence.  A memory to be treasured forever.

It can be an ideal team building exercise for clubs, groups and even a great day out for corporate clients.

Situated in the heart of Kent, we fly from Headcorn Aerodrome, Biddenden Vineyard, Hamstreet, Appledore and NEW LAUNCH SITE FOR 2005 Julie Rose Stadium Ashford. The launch sites are selected to give the best flight path for any wind direction and for their stunning views of our picturesque countryside. Flights, which last approximately one hour, are scheduled mornings and evenings when the air conditions are most stable. The whole experience takes three to four hours.

On arrival at the launch site you will be greeted by your Pilot and crew and introduced to your fellow passengers. Your balloon will be prepared and inflated and as part of your adventure you will be invited to assist. When all the final checks have been made and you have been fully briefed on safety and landing positions, your balloon will rise gently and majestically into the air. 

The views are spectacular, passengers can often see the cliffs of France to the south-east or Canary Wharf/Thames estuary to the north.
