North Hampshire Balloon Flights
All of hot air balloon rides are now facilitated by Virgin Balloon Flights, which means there may be some changes to our launch site locations.
Virgin has flown alongside Adventure Balloons across the South East for many years now.
Some of the specific launch locations may vary slightly from the below, so please visit the Virgin Balloon Flights website for an up to date list of locations to book from.
If you already have Adventure Balloons hot air balloon ride voucher, visit the Log In page and find out how to transfer your existing voucher to a Virgin Balloon Flights voucher.
If you don’t already have a balloon ride voucher, you can purchase directly through Virgin Balloon Flights here.
Adventure Balloons offers hot air balloon flights in North Hampshire from launch sites in Basingstoke and Hartley Wintney
Balloon Flight Hampshire
Our North Hampshire take sites are at Down Grange and War Memorial Park in Basingstoke. We also have our own site at Hartley Wintney. All these sites are convenient for the M3 motorway which you will almost certainly see on your flight.
During the balloon ride you may see Tylney Hall Hotel, Wellington Country Park, Stratfield Saye (the Duke of Wellington's Home) and Bramshill Police training college, some of which dates from Elizabethan times. You may also see small villages such as Odiham, Hartley Wintney, Crondall, Overton, Dummer and small towns such as Hook. If we fly near RAF Odiham you may see one of their Chinook helicopters, noticeable by their distinctive throbbing noise. Lasham airfield is the largest gliding centre in Europe. We sometimes land there and gliders will sometimes approach the balloon in flight and say hello!

To ensure that we provide you with a safe and enjoyable flight, the site chosen will depend on the wind direction, speed on the day and any operational factors. Our main airspace consideration is to keep out of Heathrow Airspace. And of course we also do our best to avoid Farnborough Airport at its busiest times, particularly during the time of the Farnborough Airshow!
