Fernhurst hot air balloon launch site

This hot air balloon launch site is part of our South Downs West area and is usually used when the wind is from the North West or East. The alternative sites are at Chichester, West Meon, Petersfield or Farnham

On hot air balloon flights from here you will see the 16th century market town of Midhurst and the ridge of the South Downs beyond. Also the sea and Isle of Wight.

The balloon launch site is on the Fernhurst Recreation Ground, adjoining The Green GU27 3HY. Please use the tarmac car park next to the sports pavilion and then walk down around the cricket pitch to join us.

How much does a balloon flight cost?
