Come and join us for a social day out to catch up with ODL members and friends whilst watching remarkable hot air balloons take flight. Watch entertainment that is being performed throughout the day and even get up close with the crew and pilots to talk with them and have a look at their ballooning equipment.
Should you choose to stay and make a full day of it, at 6pm we will witness these great balloons being prepared for flight. we'll see them inflate and watch their ascent to the skies before our very eyes.
At 9pm is the Nightglow. As the day gets darker, we will see 20 hot air balloons light up alongside the specially created soundtrack from BBC Radio Bristol.
This event is free of charge. If you wish to drive there and use their car park, you will need to pay in advance which is £5 per car. Go to the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta website for more details. https://www.bristolballoonfiesta.co.uk/
