Cessnock City Council has recently announced an opportunity for locals to win an unforgettable experience in the magnificent Hunter Valley.

In partnership with Beyond Ballooning and Redsalt Restaurant Rydges Resort, Council is offering two lucky adults the opportunity to soar above the picturesque landscapes of the Hunter Valley in a hot air balloon.

As part of an exclusive package, the winners will enjoy a mesmerising 60-minute hot air balloon flight and professional photo package from Beyond Ballooning, followed by a champagne breakfast at the renowned Redsalt Restaurant Rydges Resort.

Cessnock City Council Mayor, Jay Suvaal expressed his encouragement for increased support of local hospitality businesses through this initiative.

“Supporting local businesses is at the heart of our community, and this competition allows us to celebrate the incredible coffee spots and breakfast destinations in our region,” Jay said.

“By participating, not only do you have a chance to win an incredible experience offering an unparalleled perspective of our beautiful region, but you also contribute to the growth and success of our local economy.

To enter the competition, Cessnock City Council is encouraging the community to share where you prefer to grab your morning coffee or enjoy a delectable brunch within the Cessnock Local Government Area.
