The Friendly Fiesta flies again!
Gates Open 3pm on both days, Balloon Ascents start around 5-5.30pm each day and a Night Glow at dusk on Saturday only.
The Lions Club of Tavistock and Tavistock Round Table, joint organisers of the Westcountry Balloon Fiesta, are delighted to announce that with the continued support from Robert Wiseman Dairies, the Fiesta will be staged again this year. Duncan Carrick, Wiseman’s Senior Sales Manager for the area says “we are delighted to be involved with the Balloon Fiesta once again in Tavistock as our sponsorship of the event not only supports the West Country Wiseman brand and our customers, but it also allows us to support the community and help raise money for local charities. Our own ‘black and white’ balloon with the registration G-OMOO was at the Fiesta last year and we are pleased to say that it will be flying again this year.”

Balloon ascents will start around 5.45pm each day and at around 8.45pm on the Saturday only, there will be a Night Glow when a number of tethered balloons light their burners in time with music, which gives the impression of a number of huge light bulbs being switched on and off. This has always been one of the most popular parts of the Fiesta and usually attracts thousands of people, remembering of course that all ballooning activities are weather dependant.
Aerosaurus Balloons will be operating public flights during the Fiesta and spaces can be booked in advance by contacting them on 01404 823102 or by visiting their web site at

Steve Grummitt, press officer for the Fiesta says: “Members of the Lions Club and Round Table are delighted that with the involvement of Robert Wiseman Dairies, the Fiesta is again in the Tavistock calendar as it proved to be so popular last year and with the charities that also attended, the event raised a considerable amount of money for local good causes.”
