Fab event, could have done with entertainers walking round (like jugglers, circus acts, balloon modelling experts, etc).
Would have been nice for some directional markers showing where things were on site, so we could plan our way round.

Fun day out, at a bargain price, such a great atmosphere. Great to see all the balloons sail off. The displays were a bit too long, with long wait times between. The glow up could have been done earlier

Review of Northampton Balloon Festival

Overall its good . More stalls needed to browse and but less slushi stands . The fair took up alot of space and the prices were a bit steep . The parachute team were amazing but that's all we good get a view of . The entrance price was great for value of money . There is definitely room for improvement but overall for price good value for a couple of hours anything after that you definitely need lots of cash

Parking issues spoilt the day.
The management of parking was awful. Took well over an hour to get in and out of the venue. Through one entrance/exit. If you want to play at big boy events you have to plan, not just have a that'll do approach. How many pin striped suits decided this would be ok. Why would you charge people to park at point of entry. This is what caused the backlog. A child would have worked that out. I am really trying to be nice here and not use the word moron.The people 'directing' traffic were clearly overwhelmed and taking so much abuse because of lack of planning, this was your fault, whoever was in charge. I would never return or recommend this event because of this. Everything is really expensive so be prepared for that or take your own food/drink.
Displays were good and tents were interesting.
The balloons were amazing, brilliant to watch so well done to everyone involved there.

First time here, there was a few of us. It was really well organised, and great facilities. We all had an amazing time, and so pleased the weather conditions were great, so the Balloons went up :) And I was in a wheelchair as recently fractured my foot. A great afternoon and evening 😊

Excellent day out. Plenty yo fo snd see.
Only thing you have to hope for is that the weather is suitable to allow balloons to take off safely

Review of Northampton Balloon Festival

To pay for event and parking was a hard chew as knowing everything will be pricey inside and this was not an overstretch. With 3 kids I can away with little change from £100 for a few rides and food. It was a struggle to manage their expectations. Seeing the balloons off was a great thrill for the kids however and they enjoyed this.
