ARE WE FLYING ?

The Bournemouth Balloon has been re-inflated and will be fully operational for the season from Saturday 10th April. It will fly every day through to 1st October - from 9am until late at night (subject to weather conditions).

Our live web cam in The Lower Gardens shows you if the Bournemouth Balloon is flying (you need Internet Explorer v6 or later; and to accept the ActiveX Control software in order to view the web cam video).

If you see the balloon ascend and descend we are currently flying.

If you can see the balloon envelope above the tree line but it does not move, wind conditions mean we are temporarily “High Moored” and not flying, but could resume flying within 2- 4 hours.

If you cannot see the balloon envelope above the tree line we are “Storm Moored” due to high winds but we could resume flying within the next 6-8 hours.

Call our Information Hotline 01202 314 539 to speak to our balloon staff for a prediction of when we may be flying next.
