Soar Serenely Across the Sky Near Brighton: A Unique Coastal Gem

Brighton, a vibrant seaside city known for its eclectic charm, historic pier, and bustling cultural scene, offers a unique blend of traditional British seaside fun and modern urban flair. Famous for its beautiful Regency architecture, lively arts scene, and the iconic Brighton Pavilion, the city is a must-visit destination on England’s south coast.

Hot Air Balloon Brighton

While there are no launch sites directly in Brighton, four nearby locations offer spectacular ballooning experiences: Hickstead, Petworth, Wadhurst, and Fernhurst. From these sites, you’ll drift over the South Downs, rolling patchwork fields, historic estates, and, on a clear day, even the coastline. Each location provides a unique perspective on the stunning landscapes of East and West Sussex, making for an unforgettable adventure.

Launching from Hickstead Showground, the renowned home of British showjumping, offers breathtaking countryside views, with the possibility of glimpsing the coast in perfect conditions.

From Petworth, flights take in the Ebernoe Common Nature Reserve, the South Downs National Park, and the historic Petworth House estate, once a favourite of artist JMW Turner.

Take off from Wadhurst and enjoy stunning vistas of Bewl Water, the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and potentially the historic town of Battle.

Finally, a flight from Fernhurst showcases the beauty of the South Downs National Park and Ebernoe Common National Nature Reserve, with rolling fields and picturesque landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see.

Wherever you fly, each of these locations offers an extraordinary way to experience the beauty of Sussex from above.
