Drift over the dreaming spires of the City of Oxford on a hot air balloon flight with Adventure Balloons from South Park and Cutteslowe Park.
OXFORD BALLOON FESTIVAL 21/22 AUGUST 2021
Balloon Flight Oxfordshire
Adventure Balloons was the first hot air balloon flight company to work with Oxford City Council in 1995 to enable the public to take balloon flights from the City Parks. This enables our passengers to view the dreaming spires and the countryside around Oxford during their flight. See the many colleges, the Radcliffe Camera, Carfax Tower and the many Musuems built in the distinctive stone. Further out, Farmoor Reservoir, Port Meadow and any remaining parts of Didcot Power Station are distinctive landmarks you may see. Oxford also has a strong link to ballooning history, James Sadler made the first ascent by balloon by an English man from Oxford and the daring pastry chef’s exploits can be explored in greater detail here
In general we use South Park for evening flights, and Cutteslowe Park for morning flights but this can change due to operational factors on the day.
