Always popular, the MCC site is right opposite the event and always well organised. The mass ascent each morning is spectacular.

See you all there, anybody else likely to turn up.

Went to it last year and had a really good time well worth going, if they are running the old buses into Bristol to see the Vintage Bus show, I would recommend that. Enjoy.

Heres the programme of events Link Removed


9.30pm on Thursday is the Nightglow and Firework Finale sponsored by Bath Ales. This is well worth seeing. The ballons are on the ground and light up to Music.

Enjoy it everyone. We got to see the balloons only once when we went a few years ago as the weather was not good. However we took the park and ride bus to Bristol and explored.

When the gun goes off each morning, the sky rapidly fills with balloons. The MCC site is as close as you can camp to the event.
If you are going to use the park and ride to go into Bristol, I don't suggest Saturday. The traffic gets pretty heavy around the event and the buses can be delayed getting back.
Avon MCC group do a great job, lots of vans but normally plenty of room as the field is quite large.
Weather is looking ok, especially for the early morning departures.
