Review of Northampton Balloon Festival
The balloons going up was the highlight, although there were other events like the Vikings.
Food and drink were OK, but a bit pricey.
Getting to the event however was very slow, traffic management not so good.

Review of Northampton Balloon Festival
The area is vast - more signage should be visible as to where the main arena is, where the Toilets are, where the Bar is. Good to see that the council are doing something in Northampton- just need tweaking.

Review of Northampton Balloon Festival
Sold as a balloon festival which is what we went to see. Instead it was just a giant funfair with fast food outlets. No balloons to be seen. Lots of hippies dressed up chopping wood. Stayed about half an hour and left. Would NOT go again

Review of Northampton Balloon Festival
The last time I was at this festival was back in the glory days, early 2000s. By comparison this was very disappointing. It was basically a fairground with balloons only inflated just before sunset. I expected to see at least a few balloons inflated during the day, even if they didn't take off. There wasn't any live music that I could hear over the pounding noise of the fairground rides competing for customers. It was a 3hr drive each way for us and the kids were bored. Won't be back and won't be recommending.

Review of Northampton Balloon Festival
Was a lovely day, the funfair was a little annoying as came close to one of the event rings, loved the vikings and civil war,, the balloons were great but really thought they would have some more shapes as advertised in pictures Bertie basset etc however just ordinary balloons on the Saturday, still magical to watch.. plenty of food stands all priced reasonably.. a good day out,, parking needs sorting though there was a 2 hour queue getting in and an hour to get out total nightmare..
