About

Our spectacular Peterborough hot air balloon rides launch from Ferry Meadows, at the heart of the beautiful Nene Park.

Take life higher and go up, up and away on an airborne adventure you will never forget.

Hop on board our iconic big red balloon for the experience of a lifetime, as you travel wherever the wind takes you over some of the UK’s most stunning landscapes.

Get your camera ready or simply relax and take in the 360 panorama of picturesque lakes, meadows and woodlands, with the city skyline to the east.

See if you can spot one of the miniature steam trains puffing along the Ferry Meadows Railway as you launch.

Surrounded by gorgeous natural habitats and patchwork fields, nothing compares to the wondrous feeling of a Peterborough hot air balloon ride.
