🎈The Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta 2021 🎈
The Cheltenham Balloon Fiesta first came to the Racecourse in 2019, bringing 40+ balloons on the Saturday taking off from the racecourse. The weekend was full of thrilling live arena entertainment from some of the best performers in the UK.
Originally due to return in 2020, the pandemic pushed the event back to 2021. After a scorching week in July, the weather, unfortunately, turned too windy and rainy for the balloons to return. Much to the disappointment of the attendees and the pilots who travelled, avid event-goers didn’t let it spoil the weekend and enjoyed the live entertainment, had lots of fun at the fair, explored local business treasures and indulged in some food and drink!
