Epic. Glorious. Uplifting. And simply unforgettable…
With morning and evening flights available every day of the week, this is your chance to experience the Peak District from the ultimate vantage point — whenever it suits you.
Flights from Bakewell offer something different each time. Mornings tend to be peaceful and still, with soft light and quiet landscapes slowly waking up below. Evenings, on the other hand, often bring golden skies and long, sweeping shadows across the hills. Both have their magic — it just depends what kind of moment you’re after.
You don’t need any experience to fly, just a sense of curiosity and a bit of flexibility. The wind does most of the decision-making — where you’ll go, what you’ll see — and that’s part of what makes each flight so memorable.
Choose your day, pick your time, and get ready to see Derbyshire from an incredible new perspective.

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS…
Morning or evening, weekday or weekend, your balloon flight begins the same way — with a calm, steady build-up and a bit of anticipation in the air. You’ll meet the crew near Bakewell, where the balloon is laid out and prepared for inflation. Setup usually takes about an hour.
You’re welcome to lend a hand, or just watch it all come together. As the burners fire up and the balloon starts to rise, the excitement starts to grow — quietly, naturally — just like the light in the sky.

…THE EXPERIENCE UNFOLDS
As the balloon lifts off, the view opens out fast — fields, ridge lines, quiet roads and villages that seem to shrink below your feet. Whether it’s a soft sunrise or the glow of early evening, this is a part of the world that always looks its best from the air.
You might follow the line of the River Wye, pass near Chatsworth, or float out over the edges of the Peaks. The flight path changes with the wind, and that’s part of the fun. There’s no rush — just time to look, listen, and let the moment sink in.

AND MEMORIES MADE…
After about an hour, the pilot will start preparing for landing — somewhere quiet, often in a place you’ve never been. That’s the joy of it. No two flights land in quite the same spot.
Once down, there’s a toast to round off the adventure, and time for a few photos before heading back to base. You’ll be given a flight certificate, and probably a new story or two — the kind you’ll bring up every time someone asks what you’ve been up to lately.
