Telford's annual Balloon Fiesta returns to Telford Town Park this August Bank Holiday.

Activities and events will take place across the entire weekend, beginning with a bang as the skies light up with Night Glow (Friday evening, 5 - 10pm). This ticketed event will be bursting with family-friendly activities and entertainment ahead of a breathtaking display of illuminated balloons set to music.

The Fiesta Weekender (Saturday & Sunday) promises two full days of FREE entertainment in the QEII Arena. Each day will be packed with aerial displays, shows, live music and family fun.

Look up at 12 noon as the Wings Parachute Team drops into the arena. There will also be gravity-defying displays from the thrilling Stanage Stunt Team and balloon tethering demonstrations throughout the day.

There will also be a Kids Zone where highlights include:

Animatronic dinosaurs - a chance to meet prehistoric creatures up close

Storm in a teacup circus - interactive circus fun for all ages

Emma’s Donkeys - gentle rides and photo opportunities

Creative activities - arts, crafts, and messy play

Boardroom Café ‘Have-a-go’ Activities - get hands-on and creative

Archery and crazy golf - test your aim and putting skills

Live music will keep the vibes going from 12noon to 6pm, and there’ll be plenty of food and drink options to keep everyone fuelled throughout the day.

For young families and nursing mothers, we have The Montessori Rainbow, will be providing a calm and comfortable space for feeding, changing, and taking a well-deserved break. Their services cater to your needs and ensure a stress-free experience.
