The Oswestry Balloon Carnival is all set for a thrilling weekend on August 22-23 with around 20 fabulous hot air balloons looking to take to the skies! Taking place in the beautiful surroundings of Cae Glas Park in Oswestry town centre, this unforgettable family event has lots to offer and may include performances from Raptor Cheerleaders and Border Counties Gymnastics, football fun and games with the TNS Foundation, music from The People’s Show Choir, plus the magical alpacas are back, and much more. More information shortly. This annual event, held in the heart of Oswestry at Cae Glas Park, is organised in association with Nightingale House Hospice, Oswestry Town Council, and Oswestry BID. It is set in the award winning Cae Glas Park of Oswestry, and open to all ages. Admission to the carnival is free. However, attendees are encouraged to make a voluntary donation of £2 upon entry to support the vital services provided by Nightingale House Hospice. In previous years, the generosity of visitors has been overwhelming, with the 2024 carnival raising an impressive £37,000 for the hospice! Given the importance of health and safety in the park, the organisers have made some changes to improve access to the event. As such, this year, there will be no requirement for wristbands. In the event that the park reaches its full capacity, then to maintain a safe environment for all, access to the park will be based on a straightforward, one-in-one-out basis. Whilst it is hoped to see hot air balloon flights early on Saturday and Sunday, and perhaps some early evening flights too, the organisers would like to make clear that all decisions on flights are taken by the Flight Director after a full assessment of the weather conditions. #FamilyFestivals #SummerList We're sorry but <%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.title %> doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled.
