Clive and Jo of Bailey Balloons are celebrating 25 years this year as a family run business.

Please support your local businesses and stay safe.

Bailey Balloons offer a friendly, personalised and memorable ballooning experience - which is much more than a balloon flight! We offer you a 3-4 hour ballooning experience where we invite you to help us prepare the balloon for launch, find out all about ballooning, enjoy 360 degree panoramic views of the beautiful scenery as you drift along over stunning countryside, relax and enjoy chilled Champagne on touchdown. Finally, we will send you on your way with your personalised flight certificate and memories to treasure. We offer a wide variety of flight vouchers that can be an ideal gift that help celebrate every occasion including treating yourself!

As experienced balloonists, Jo and Clive Bailey specialise in offering a personal and safe approach to your balloon flight. Jo and Clive have flown balloons all over Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Every January they fly in the Swiss Alps and have set a height record above the Bristol Balloon Fiesta in aid of a cancer charity. All this makes them more than qualified to introduce you to the joys of ballooning.

You can experience the peaceful serenity and exhilaration of a champagne hot air balloon ride from some of the best launch sites in the South-West, including: Bristol, Bath & South Wales Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Devon & Cornwall as well as the fabulous Bristol Balloon Fiesta, enjoy breathtaking views of some of the most beautiful towns and countryside in Britain with a company that puts your enjoyment and safety first.

Our Flights
Bailey Balloons have hand-picked three of the most picturesque launch sites in the South-West, offering you panoramic views of the world gently drifting below. From Ashton Court Estate in Bristol, Royal Victoria Park in Bath or Llanarth in beautiful South Wales, you should be prepared for breath taking views from lift off.

Bailey Balloons guarantee you a personal and friendly balloon experience.

We meet our passengers after sunrise and a few hours before sunset, everyone has the opportunity to help prepare the hot air balloon for take-off. You will be fully briefed by your pilot, then fly for approximately an hour. On landing, you can take part in packing the balloon away and then enjoy a chilled glass of champagne (or soft drink) with your balloon party, followed by the presentation of a signed flight certificate, before being driven back to the launch site by our ballooning retrieve crew. The whole experience lasts approximately 3-4 hours.

Special Events
We also tether balloons at special corporate events, weddings, parties and charity events and will be happy to speak with you about your event requirements. We may even have a few of our own ideas to add if you would like!

We have a wealth of experience in corporate hospitality for client entertaining and staff incentives and rewards.
