Review of Worcester Hot Air Balloon Festival 

Many of the rides for kids were overpriced. I feel they would make more by making g it more affordable and having more kids on. It was great for us to have the extra events on - the bike stunts and monster trucks. The fact that they made the fireworks so much later than advertised was a heartbreak for many kids - you should indicate a range of time to set expectations. We walked to the event, as had the option, so no parking / traffic issues for us. Overall, we, as a family felt it was an improvement on last year but a few things need tweaking to make it great.

Kids had a lovely time lots for them to see learn about and do x

Not many stalls selling things worth buying, balloons to late for kids to see

Communications of what was going on during the day was poor. Website went down, so couldn't check what time events were on,  and couldn't see any signage stating what was on - so basically was a big field with some fairground rides on lots of food stalls.  Viking village was quick walkthrough & dog show was ok but came across bit of date with antics Scotland/England etc - don't need the antics - just run as a dog show.  So spent probably an hour - no sight of hot air balloons and no sign they were going to fly, so left.

Pity no hot air balloon festival.  But the flames & fireworks 🎆 was beautiful

Honestly, we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. We thought the ticket price was very good for the amount of entertainment received - and while we did find some of the pricing on food rather expensive, we also understand that costs have risen a lot and profit margins are difficult at best. 

We thoroughly enjoyed the craft tent and got some beautiful little gifts from there - the amount of space was really lovely too, plenty for a picnic or to settle down and just watch the entertainment and the world go by. Honestly, bringing camping chairs was a really good idea and it made it all very comfortable! 

Also, my mother was rather nervous getting on the Monster Truck ride, but they helped her up the steps, made sure she was all strapped in tight and was comfortable before we set off - and they looked after our belongings in the mean time. It's not something we've had the opportunity to do before so that was great fun. 

The only downside to the day was some kids playing football at some goalposts down at the Balloon Arena. While everyone was perfectly content for them to have a kick-about and enjoy themselves, it all got a bit out of hand when the ball continued to hit people who were sat trying to enjoy their day and sit themselves where they hoped to see  the balloons. So many times were they politely asked to try and keep the ball by the goals, but it was ultimately ignored and a few people did get hit on the head. I know last year said goal posts were not up, so perhaps next year they could be taken down again. Most people are happy for ball games and such, as were we, but it wasn't fair once people started to get hurt and arguments ensued; many people had to move into the larger crowds to try and get away from it which was unfortunate. 

We would very much like to come again, in truth!
