Weather impact on Balloon Night Glow: 

The weather and wind may affect when the Balloon Glow (the part of the programme when the balloons are lit up) happens and the type and length of the hot air balloons performance.  5.30pm is the earliest time that the Balloon Glow can take place. Balloons will be secured to the ground throughout the performance. No refunds will be given if the balloons are unable to perform to their full potential. The Night Glow provides hours of entertainment, and the Balloon Glow is only one part of the event.

We have a huge selection of food vendors at the event, or you are welcome to bring a picnic. We are managing the capacity of this festival by limiting ticket sales. For more information, click here.
