There are also some more outdoor and – arguably – adventurous things to try out when staying in Basingstoke, such as a balloon flight with Adventure Balloons who run out of the town centre, or perhaps gliding from Lasham Airfield less than six miles to the south of town.

Whatever the reason that you’re staying, you will find that this well-placed Hampshire town is as large as many cities and has at least as much or even more to offer guests as when staying in city apartments; Basingstoke making an excellent base for business travellers coming to this area of the UK.
