Exclusive Balloon Events is the events arm of aerial marketing specialist Exclusive Ballooning.

Exclusive Ballooning is famed for taking hot air balloons for a variety of high profile clients to the most iconic locations around the world, including Buckingham Palace in London, Rockefeller Park in New York, Salt Flats in Utah, Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, The Coliseum in Rome, and most notable UNDER Tower Bridge for Disney.

After becoming established as the world leader in aerial marketing, Exclusive Ballooning began organising dedicated hot air balloon events. These events grew so rapidly and were quickly established as annual fixtures, that Exclusive Balloon Events was born.

In 2019, the first year of nomination, Exclusive Balloon Events was the recipient of National Outdoor Events Association’s prestigious award for ‘best outdoor event of the year’ for their Sky Safari® event.

Exclusive Balloon Events are the proud organisers of some of the most prominent annual balloon events, including:
