About
Take to the skies with a Northampton hot air balloon ride from the town's annual festival of fun and flight.
Held at The Racecourse in the centre of the town, Northampton Town Festival returns this July and once again, Virgin Balloon Flights will be the only operator providing passenger flights from the event.
The two day event, which is free to attend, will take place on 6th to 8th August 2021 and offers a fun-filled weekend for all the family, with hot air balloons, a giant funfair, arena entertainment, live music and more.
We have two passenger flights in our big red balloon scheduled on the Saturday and Sunday of the event- one in the morning and one in the evening - and another flight scheduled on the Friday evening.
Like all our flights, a ride in our big red balloon from Northampton Town Festival must be booked in advance.
If you already have a valid flight voucher, you can book online to fly from the festival today.
If you do not have a flight voucher already and want to experience the Northampton skies like never before, you can see our range of options before buying online here or call our team on 01952 212750.
