WHAT'S ON 2008

This year’s entertainment will thrill and excite both young and old. We have planned this year a variety of entertainments for event arena, which includes falconry displays, a comedy trampoline act, dog agility displays and a motorcycle stunt team.

The music stage is not to be out done however with performances by local bands including the ever popular 4th Street Traffic.

If it’s balloons are wanting to see then you will not be disappointed with tethered ballons on display and if the weather is right a mass launch on both days of the event.

Of course we can’t forget the thrills of the fairground with rides to suit all ages.

Don’t forget to look in on our marquee entertainments with workshops in art, kite making and circus skills on offer as well as a display of reptiles. Traditional fun includes a Punch and Judy show for our younger visitors.

All in all there is something for everyone at this years Big Balloon
