Weekday Hot Air Ballooning with Champagne for Two - Oxfordshire
About the experience
There is surely no better way to enjoy some quality time together, than flying high in the basket of a hot air balloon. Now you can look forward to doing exactly that on our fantastic weekday hot air ballooning package, taking off from Wild Pig Farm from the picturesque Oxfordshire village of Stadhampton. There's a working farm and farm shop both on site, making this one of the most unique destinations to take flight from, with lots of good facilities to enjoy both before and after your flight, and perfect for the whole family to come along to and watch you both take off. The expert ballooning team will guide you through everything you need to about taking off and coming into land. And as it's the wind determining your route and how far you'll travel, it's an aerial adventure unlike any other. The pilot will release the burners to help your balloon gain altitude and fly to heights of 2000ft. Seeing the Oxfordshire countryside, and its many villages, fields, roads and rivers far below is quite a sight to behold. And when you come back down to earth, you'll feel every bump as you do so - but that's all part of the fun! If you want to assist with the balloon deflation and packing up you can, and you'll be transported back to the farm after your flight is over. Plus, you can toast the flight and just about any special occasion you're booking this experience for with a complimentary glass of champagne!
