In April the Bristol Balloon Collectors’ Inflation Day marked the first time the event was held at Snake Meadows, adding a new chapter to its history and that of the Bath Hot Air Balloon Club. Snake Meadows provided a stunning backdrop for the vibrant display of their balloon collection and the weather was playing ball for a change.
Balloonists and invited guest had the chance to witness the inflation process up close and interact with pilots. With ideal weather conditions the event was a highlight for both participants and onlookers, capturing the spirit of adventure and the joy of the special shape balloons.
About The Bristol Balloon Collectors
The Bristol Balloon Collectors look after old hot air balloons and preserve them for years to come. The aim of the collection is to save old envelopes from being destroyed and forgotten in storage, and even to take them to events all over the UK for everyone to enjoy.
With a growing number of balloons in their collection, they attend festivals up and down the country including, the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, Midlands Air Festival and Longleat Sky Safari to name but a few.
