Ballooning Schedule
There will be morning and evening mass ascents, beginning on Friday AM, ending Sunday PM, as well as opportunities for tethering from mid morning to mid afternoon including a chance to chat to the public to share our wonderful sport and hopefully inspire the next generation! Each evening will feature a spectacular Night Glow.
Night Glows - As you may be aware, glows are a highlight of our audience’s experience and are seen as very important to Longleat too. We would be very grateful if each applicant would help us out by participating in at least one glow during the three days of the show. Those who assist us, will receive priority acceptance of their application. As a token of our appreciation, all pilots taking part in a glow, will receive a high quality, embroidered fleece with branding and year. These will be exclusive to glow teams. We hope you all will help us to put on another great event next year at Longleat!
