One of Yorkshire’s highly anticipated family festivals returns this August bank holiday in the beautiful grounds of Castle Howard. Formally held at York Knavesmire, this year the event will be even bigger and better than ever – with Eurovision Runner-Up Sam Ryder headlining on Sunday evening.
Yorkshire Balloon Fiesta is well known for being the ultimate weekend of sensational live music, family entertainment and hot air balloons. This year, they have announced some incredible artists including Sam Ryder, Ella Henderson, Toploader, Blue, Joel Corry, Diversity, Sister Sledge and many more.
This family festival will also host some popular children’s entertainers too – including Andy & The Odd Socks, YolanDa’s Band Jam, Brainiac Live, Justin Fletcher, Dick & Dom and Cosmic Kids Yoga.
Included in each ticket will be entry to the event to watch these sensational live musicians, the family roller rink, the ravertots big top, children’s arts & crafts tents and the arena entertainment – including Stunt World, Dingle Fingle Comedy Car the BMX Show and all balloon related entertainment (weather permitting.)
Alongside the live entertainment, there will also be activities for children of all ages including: ParentFolk crafts tent with a pimp-my-cookie station, kids ink, storytelling and more; Angels & Butterflies tent with sand art, painting and bubbles; fairground rides for all; and the amazing Ravertots Big Top – a perfect place to throw shapes not toys!
Balloon pilots travel from across the country (and some from Europe) to attend this festival. They are hoping to have a mass balloon launch on every evening of the event, and a picture-perfect night glow performance on the first three nights of the event too
On each day, they are hoping to host pilot meet and greets in the arena. Giving anyone the chance to speak to the pilots, ask them questions, ignite the burner and take photos with the baskets – even if the weather is unsuitable for flying.
To make the most of the weekend, they are excited to introduce camping at Yorkshire Balloon Fiesta for the first time ever. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere and make a whole weekend of non-stop family entertainment and fun.
