Cheltenham Racecourse Cheltenham reviews by real event-goers

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

We are really upset with the event. We paid ticket charge for entry and all the events also paid only. All the rides and food cost is also very high compared to other. No balloon launch at the event and nothing exited about the event

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

Go to a balloon fiesta and guess what no balloons. Total rip-off. If you are thinking of going don’t bother.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

Awful.
Overpriced, no atmosphere. Shows disappointing.
Wether didn’t help but even if it was sunny it was overpriced and poor.

It was an Absolute waste of our time one tent of crap crafts about 30 people in total there not one balloon
The only thing making a difference was a 4x4 stayed all of 5 minutes walked in and walked straight out waste of money waste of time and worse than all I bloody walked so I could enjoy some food and a few beers thanks for nothing !!!!

Nice for kids as well!

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

Didn't realise the venue was so far from the Racecourse entrance.
Drinks were VERY expensive. Tickets good value. Worth the ticket price just for the tribute bands which were excellent.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

All advertising for this event had the wrong timings on

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

Disappointed at being unable to see the balloons. There needed to be more activities running at the same time, lots more of craft and merchandise stalls ie outdoor furniture, car dealership, clothing etc. After an hour of being there stalls were packing up to go.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

Your staff in hives coats need to be more educated on the event as I asked a few staff different things and I was told different wrong things and sent in different wrong directions but apart from that me and my family had a good night.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

No balloons unflated due to weather. Music wasn’t good quality and prices for rides higher than usual

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

There where no balloon fiesta(wind). I had to pay entrance for nothing really, all rides £3 or £4 per person, mostly cash. Realy expensive day at balloon fiesta with no balloons

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

food and rides very expensive when you have children with you.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

Changed ticket from Saturday to the Friday due to the weather.
Too many food vendors, not enough to entertain yourselves whilst waiting the long wait for balloons and fireworks. The wait was made longer by the epic, heavy music session by The Jam tribute which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea! No balloons, just a little lighting of their flames. Felt sorry for the food vendors who were largely redundant due, shame the great DJ didn’t continue his fun music which was more appropriate.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

Good evening out with family. Food far too expensive £8 for penne past with tomato sauce!!! A small balloon for child £6!! Overall good time but very expensive.

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

No balloons present due to weather, si understandable, but no atmosphere. Little in the way of fairground attraction

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

Fab evening

Review of Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta

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 it’s a good place to meet up with friends and family , even being your own picnic.
