Champagne Balloon Flights

Champagne Balloon Flights fly Belvedere House and Gardens next door to Bloomfield House Hotel generally one weekend per month. We strongly advise that you get yourself booked on a flight as early in the season as possible in case of weather postponements – this will allow you further opportunities to book back on another flight early in the season.

An oasis of beauty in the Midlands is there to be enjoyed. Belvedere House Gardens & Park can be discovered on the shores of Lough Ennell, 4 miles from Mullingar in Co. Westmeath and just an hour’s drive from Dublin, close to the new M6 motorway.

We fly from the beautiful parkland and as the balloon rises above the trees you are treated to the stunning view of this glorious house gardens and parkland and of course the beautiful Lough Ennell. Our meeting point is in the main car park and we transport you from there by minibus to the launch site.

We highly recommend that you allow extra time to explore this fabulous jewel before or after your flight or relax over a cuppa in their Courtyard Cafe.
