Hot Air Ballooning News

Now in its 33rd year, the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is Europe's largest annual Hot Air Balloon event and one of the UK's top five outdoor events.

The spectacle of massed Hot Air Balloons filling the Essex skies with colour will lie at the heart of Essex's newest and hottest show, The Essex Spectacular, with a schedule of hot air balloon flights and demonstrations throughout the weekend of 6th & 7th August 2011.

We will continue to despatch orders until 11:00 24/12/2010. However, we recommend you order prior to 15:00 Tuesday 21/12/2010 if you wish to receive prior to Christmas. This is in accordance with Royal Mails last posting date for Christmas.

We have been informed by Royal Mail that they are currently experiencing difficulties with the Special Delivery service and have temporarily removed the guarantee. We are currently reviewing all the orders for despatch over the new few days and adjusting the despatch dates accordingly to ensure everything is delivered in time for Christmas. If you have any concerns in reference to your order, please do not hesitate to contact Customer Services by email (info@goballooning.co.uk) or on 0845 337 1566 (option 2).

Despite the devastating effect Iceland’s Volcano Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH'-plah-yer-kuh-duhl) is having on other forms of air transport throughout Europe we are pleased to confirm that our balloon flights are lifting off as normal.

Due to extra demand we are increasing our capacity by adding another massive 300,000 cu.ft. balloon to the fleet in September which will carry the artwork for the Go’s experience voucher business which offers a whole range of activities from hot air ballooning to llama trekking.
