Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

Went on the Saturday mainly for the balloons know this is all weather dependent thought they would be on the ground for people to see.We went to one at Bristol years ago &although they could not lift off they were on the ground .This fiesta was all about food outlets never seen so many in one place no wonder we have obesity problems in this country so no we would not go again.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

Useless stewards who had no idea where we were supposed to park. The event was tacky food, funfair and terrible entertainment. Won’t be returning as extremely expensive day out for no balloons

Utter rubbish. Never again.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

No balloons as weather not good. Still have to pay full price for a Fiesta without balloons! Has to be another option or money back. Wouldn’t recommend this next year. Very poor information about what was happening on the night.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

One of the most boring overpriced days out, it was just like a fun fair, entertainment was the same over and over and what was there was overpriced.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

Wasnt too pleased that the balloons couldnt take off, that's the whole reason we booked the tickets. I saw somewhere that the event would be cancelled if it was heavy rain but didnt mention anything about a slight breeze!

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

There were no balloons all weekend!!The fair was ridiculously expensive AND about 17 miles from the actual racecourse. Should have been advertised.
Also Sunday was advertised as being until 8. My son turned up and EVERYTHING was gone!

Boring time

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

We attended it on Friday for air balloons but unfortunately the air balloon activity did not take off due to very windy weather. But we enjoyed overall atmosphere, the food, the local shops, the rides etc with our 5 years old.
We just wish there were more rides for adults to enjoy the event.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

Majority of the venue was food and drink stalls the entertainment was very poor had the balloons been allowed to go up the quantity would have been poor three balloons were visible
It is a venue I shall not be wasting my money on again

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

Shame no balloons but not their fault. They closed early on Sunday so we didn’t get to maximise the cost of our tickets, which I thought was a bit naughty.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

Didn’t get to see the balloons, spent a fortune on rides and over priced food and drink!!
Kids were happy!! ????

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

It was OK but on Saturday because of the weather we couldn't see the balloons at all:-(
I wasn't bather to come on Sunday again

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

Poor service and lack of communication. We travelled 40 minutes to see the balloons, to arrive at the gate and find out they had been cancelled. I emailed to question this and I received an extremely rude email back from a David Bailey.
I appreciate weather is completely out of anyones hands, but to not notify or email customers that the main attraction will be cancelled is terrible.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

Shame that the balloons couldn't go up but the rest of the event was certainly worth it and good fun.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021

I know weather dependant, but to have no entertainment from 4.30pm until 10pm when the Glow started and then fireworks.

Need to have a back up if too windy for balloons to go up, long time to entertain kids.
