paid six pounds for the ticket for the only free attraction being a sheep dog, with every other activity being a paid for ride which you could find at any free fun fair or fait

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

Not a great experience of this. Bus transfer to the park from the car park was where the good part started and ended.
To be fair, the weather was rubbish, but the PA was not understandable, however no hot air balloons took off, it seems all displays cancelled, so what did i pay for? To be a captive audience to the fun fair, and with 3 children at around £3 a ride, it got expensive for the 2 hours we stayed.
And we couldn't even get the bus back....and with it still raining and the children getting cold, we walked back to the car park. We won't go again.

This event was very very poor, noting to see apart from funfair and food outlets. 
Also a very long unstable walk with a child’s buggy to we’re the event was. 
Absolute waste of money !!! 

Didn't see any balloons take off hardly any stalls too look. Nowhere too go inside when it's raining we all got soaked! The prices for food was ridiculous
Didn't even go and see who was on stage being too far away. You couldn't even hear the music where we standing. Would I recommend No it was a shambles 

It's a shame that this is called a Balloon Fiesta, as sadly experience shows that the balloons are rarely able to fly due to weather conditions. Many people were obviously very fed up when it was announced yet again that they wouldn't be flying on Friday. We were left with some average live music, a decent short firework display at the end, a noisy big truck experience that would regularly drown out the music, overpriced food & drink and a distinct lack of stewards, especially at the end when everybody was trying to leave via fields that had to be crossed with very little light! It felt that it was a mix of ideas for things to do/see with very little organisation/co-ordination. good intentions, but poor delivery I'm afraid. Thank goodness the weather was lovely as otherwise it would have been a disaster.

Disappointing the balloons never launched

Its not their fault as the weather was rubbish. 
There were no updates about the balloons.
When we arrived it looked like this event was made for people to come - Spend money on food and rides...

The whole thing around actual hot air balloons seemed to be just a myth as there was no sign of hot air balloons...

Very disappointing 


No balloons...
Massively disappointing we got there intending to spend the whole evening and despite perfect weather no balloons, the music wasn't great and there just wasn't enough there to keep you entertained for longer than 30 minutes. 

Bit of rain and nothing seem to be happening good job the monster trucks were there otherwise a complete waste of money . 
You need to sort out more activities for when it rains at that price of ticket.
Fairground rides were good but very expensive waiting around for nothing to happen .
Very disappointed won’t be coming again.

Great festival great day just a shame about the weather 

Good venue for families. Value for money entrance fee, compared with other over priced events.
As the balloon launches depend on the weather,  the event does require a substitute attraction to supplement this.
When the sun shines itâ€™s a good place to meet up with friends and family , even being your own picnic.
