Review of Northampton Balloon Festival

Overall rating: 4 Verified review

An excellent day/evening although we didn't stay for the fireworks.
Vendors prices were a little on the high side but variety of choice was good! Ice cream prices were extortionate ... £6 for a cone with a flake!!!
The attractions and shows were first class!

Strategy on exiting car park requires addressing as it appeared to be free for all hence everyone got snarled up

Ticket purchase was straightforward and cost effective buying in advance.
Event was well stewarded and felt safe. All stewards were helpful and friendly, enabling us to relax and enjoy a brilliant day at the festival!
Thanks to all concerned!

Great event, only a few minor things that could be beneficial going forward.. the stalls in the tent should ideally be a one way system, it got very crowded and you could hardly move due to people trying to get past one another. Bag searching would be nice, especially in this day and age. Apart from that we had a great time!

3 balloons went up on Sunday - disappointing when it's called a balloon festival. Food and rides overpriced. Wouldn't go again

It took over an hour to get parked at the event parking. After paying for tickets, discovered that you couldn't get close to the main arena to see anything but if you hadn't bought a ticket you could view from outside without anyone near you. The food prices were astronomical apart from the bratwurst stall. The balloon flight take off was good. Other than that there were very limited balloons on display. For the glow event, there were only around 6 balloons blown up, you could hear the music and there weren't the unusual balloons that have been seen before. It could have been so much better.

Great day put, advance tickets fairly priced but on the door tickets too expensive and too much if you've been 1 day already and fancied going back another day. Food prices from vendors were too high and drinks also highly priced which was a shame. Entertainment was good and balloons good but could have been more shapes. Overall a good day out... there needs to be something happening (maybe a local singer) between the last show at 8pm and balloon glow at 09.30 though as it's cold waiting around and all the tents are also closed no nothing to do.

Fairground very expensive £5 a go. A lot if you have a few kiddies with you. Everything else is great. Fantastic family day out.
