The 11th Hot Air Balloon Festival takes place at the Royal Internation Pavillion on the 1st & 2nd September.

The 2007 festival promises to be as fun-filled and exciting weekend for all the family

Not only do we have mass balloon ascents at 6am & 6pm Friday to Sunday and the amazing night glow on Saturday September at 9.30pm, there is so much more to keep visitors entertained. With a jam-packed arena entertainment schedule and a free children's interactive area packed with entertainments and workshops there is more than enough to see and do at the fiesta to keep the whole family entertained. Not forgetting of course the UK's first indoor model balloon festival, fairground and amusments, refreshments and bar, craft fair, trade stands... and more.
