Only passengers booked onto a flight will be allowed in the balloon arena. All passengers must wait at the security control until they are collected by our balloon crew for their flight. No family or friends of passengers are allowed to enter the balloon arena at any time.
Please keep in mind that for evening flights, parking for the event will be very busy so do ensure you arrive in plenty of time, just in case you do need to park further away than expected.
