Bailey Balloons are a family run company and offer a friendly, personalised and memorable flight experience - far more than just a balloon ride!
Bristol flights launch from the beautiful grounds of Ashton Court Estate and depending on the wind direction will take you over the Clifton Suspension Bridge, The Downs and City centre or, out towards the wonderful countryside surrounding Bristol.
We offer you a 3-4 hour ballooning experience that invites you to help us prepare for take-off, find out how the balloon works, enjoy about an hour’s flight with panoramic views of beautiful towns and rolling countryside, relax and enjoy a glass of chilled champagne on touchdown with your balloon party and receive your personalised flight certificate signed by your pilot.
Our reputation is founded on quality, safety and a personal approach to each client. Clive Bailey, Director and chief pilot of Bailey Balloons, coordinated and ran the flight control centre for David Hempleman-Adam's successful balloon flight across the Atlantic and his flight for the Gordon Bennett Gas Balloon Race for which he and David recently have received an award for from HRH The Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace. Clive is also a Director of the Bristol Balloon Fiesta in charge of 150 balloons and he recently flew Sir David Attenborough at high altitude over the Swiss Alps to record the introduction to his new series Planet Earth II!
Flights are available through the summer April through to October and flight vouchers are available all year round making fantastic presents whatever time of year! Bailey Balloons have enjoyed many flights so far this year including wedding parties, proposals, celebrations and visitors to Bristol looking for a unique way to see the city and prices start from just £99 per person.
