A Brecks Away

We had some visitors drop in last night!

Safely landed in the field by pilot Oliver from Yorkshire Balloon Flights.
What a beautiful evening it was for them.

If you’re interested in a balloon flight during your stay then please contact them.
Take off is from York Racecourse and you get a lovely Birds Eye view of York City centre.

Once your safely landed you will asked to help with the packing away of the balloon which our youngest loved helping with (you dont often get a chance like this after school)

And then it’s time to take in your experience watch the sunset and enjoy a glass of champagne, Buck’s Fizz or orange juice 🍾🥂
