This year, we’re offering a limited number of exclusive tickets that give visitors access to Sky Lounge during the Nightglow session, and access to the launch field itself while the hot air balloons tether and light up in time to a music soundtrack on Friday 9th and Saturday 10th August.
New for 2024! This year we’ve teamed up with the incredible team at Pasture, to bring a new fine dining restaurant with incredible views of the event to the Fiesta.
