Share the adventure
Our founder, Philip Clark, made his first balloon flight in 1973. This truly amazing experience changed his life. At the time unless you knew someone who owned a balloon it was virtually impossible to take a hot air balloon flight. Ballooning Network was formed to allow you to share that same magical experience. We are very proud that our company was the first to be granted British Civil Aviation Authority certification to take you flying. In 1988 our company was granted Balloon Operators Certificate Number One.
Ballooning is our business; we do nothing else. The company operates 5 balloons, we have a small 4 person VIP balloon and 12 or 15 passenger balloons.
In 1783 Pilatre de Rozier and Marquis d'Arlandes became the first men to ascend in a Montgolfier hot air balloon, they celebrated this magnificent flight with a glass or two of champagne. We continue this tradition on all of our balloon flights.
Here are some of our customer comments on our hot air balloon flights.
"I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help in organising our balloon flight and for providing such an excellent service. It was amazing, the best wedding present ever and very much worth the wait."

"My Father really enjoyed the flight he took on 21st September from Somerset. I'd like to thank all the team at Ballooning Network for looking after him. I will be singing your praises and will definitely book again through you and will not use any other company."

"A note to thank you so very much for providing such a fab service with the balloon. We were up last night and so loved it, we are hooked and cannot wait to do it again!
Steve and the crew were simply delightful, the basket amazing and the balloon beautiful - and HUGE!! We loved being involved in the process too, and all alarms were speedily dispersed. Fabulous. We were so lucky with the weather finally and the flight was magical. Many thanks for keeping me calmer than I might have been over the failed attempts! At times it was hard but it was very well worth the wait. Thank you, thank you."

"I just wanted to say thank you for a marvellous flight over Bath last night Mike was a great pilot and we were very impressed that he kept very close tabs on the weather to enable us to fly in perfect conditions. It was a great experience and it was a marvellous surprise to my wife on her 60th birthday. Thank you all once again."
