The Great Balloon Race at Charlton Park Estate

About

Please note, this event has been moved from Bowood House to Malmesbury’s Charlton Park Estate. Originally scheduled for July 2-4, the event will now be held on August 13-15.

The event will feature the same dazzling line up of aerial acts, balloons and displays, while it will also feature the Ibiza Classics Orchestra.

Ticket holders for the Bowood House date have been contacted and will be issued new tickets for the August dates. The organisers will refund ticket holders who are unable to make the new dates.

The Great Balloon Race Extravaganza includes a daredevil paramotor display by the Sky Rascals and a breath-taking Sky Dance from a 100ft crane by Incandescence. Each evening ends with a headline set from a 90s UK chart act before a dynamic fireworks display.

For those with a head for heights, balloon flights are also available with prices starting from £325 for an individual on a shared flight, £950 for a couple and up to £1,650 for a party of six.

The event organisers have also put in place socially distanced measures to ensure the event is as safe as it is enjoyable.

This includes allocated plots for a maximum of six people, hand sanitiser stations, a ‘click & collect’ food and drinks service – via an event app - and additional toilet facilities.

Tickets:
There are three options of plots available, standard, premium and VIP with prices ranging from £65 to £240.

Times:
5.30pm - 10.00pm
