This weekend the 23rd Northampton Balloon Festival gets underway at Billing Aquadrome! Three days packed full of fun things to do with the whole family, and the Heart Angels will be there on Saturday and Sunday, giving you the chance to win!
The 2012 Northampton Balloon Festival lifts off this Friday! Preparations are complete and all available spaces for balloons have been filled.
As in previous years there will be morning and evening launches on all three days weather permitting, as well as the famous Saturday night glow, where the balloons will light up in time with music.
Throughout the weekend there will be ballooning memorabilia available to buy as well as balloonists having their baskets set up at the set times for you to have your photo taken in.
The Heart Angels will also be there throughout Saturday and Sunday, giving you the chance to win! A full programme of events can be found here...
