Balloon Events
Ballooning events are held all over the country, mainly during the summer months, when the weather is more favourable. The biggest local events in our area are:
- The Bristol Balloon Fiesta which is held in a park just to the west of Bristol during the second weekend of August. This is the biggest event in the UK.
- The West Country Balloon Fiesta, held during the first weekend of September in Tavistock (Devon)
- The Tiverton Balloon Fiesta, held during mid May in Tiverton (Devon)
- The Icicle Balloon Meet, held during the second weekend of January
Sadly, recent rule changes from the CAA mean that it is far more difficult to organise a balloon meeting to which the public are invited. Therefore, many, if not most, balloon events are now unadvertised. If you do wish to find out more, then why not join the WRBBAC?
