BALLOON FLIGHT INFORMATION
Essex is a tapestry of rich history and theatre, and your hot air balloon flight over Brentwood will reveal many of its tales and secrets. As you drift overhead, you might take in any number of views and points of interest, such as the historic Norsey Wood and its savage history as the slaughter-place of 500 peasant men by King Richard’s soldiers in 1381.
Perhaps your ballooning experience will take in the windmill that features in John Webb’s famous painting Thaxed. But not only does Thaxed feature in a masterpiece, it was also home to the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin – so good job you’ll be floating safely above the laneways and woods of this beautiful county on your Brentwood balloon flight!
If you’re visiting Brentwood you’ll find there’s plenty to see and do to keep you busy after you ballooning adventure. For a snapshot back in time, consider heading over to the Brentwood Museum on Lorne Road where a small, but charming exhibition gives you an interesting peak into yesteryear.
If you prefer chilling out, then the Brentwood Ski Centre is the place for you! Here you can test your abilities on the slopes on either skis or snowboards. For the young or young at heart, Old MacDonald’s Farm on Weald Road is a must see. With its large selection of farm animals – some rare breeds – as well as some more exotic critters, the farm is a relaxing and enjoyable way to continue the calm created on your hot air balloon flight over Brentwood.

Your Brentwood launch site will be communicated to you in good time so you know exactly where the pilot has chosen. There is a main Brentwood launch site and a number of back up sites that can be used to get you aloft!
You can leave your car at the launch site as this is where your ballooning experience will finish.
Your unforgettable balloon ride will start with a full safety briefing, after which you you can help the team with the the inflating of the balloon if you wish – or kick back, soak up the atmosphere and let others do the hard work. But when it’s time, there is no escaping the collective excitement as the burners fire up and the balloon starts to prepare itself for taking you up, up and away on a ballooning adventure over Essex!
As you drift gently over Brentwood and Essex countryside there will be ample opportunity to take photographs from this unique vantage point. During your flight you are free to discuss how the balloon works with the pilot, who will also be pointing out the many points of interest that drift below you or rest gently on the horizon.
No two flights are the same, and as such any number of towns, villages and important landmarks could come into view – all of which create talking points for years to come.
After an unforgettable hour ballooning your pilot will begin your decent towards a gentle landing. Once back on the ground, and should you wish, you can help in packing away the envelope (that’s the official name for the fabric canopy).
With the balloon all packed away, you will be transferred back to your launch site where you can sip on the fine stuff and raise a toast to an unforgettable adventure hot air ballooning over Essex.
