A spectacular weekend to have out.

at the racecourse in northampton the balloon festival is an annual event that is a good weekend of events, stalls and fair, for the young and old.

I have only recently been going every year as i live 3 hours away but it such a fab place to take the kids.
All he stalls filled with everything you can think off.

Parking is on site a little expensive but aint it like that wherever you go.

The balloon are such a wonderful serene sight setting off into the sky.

The night entertainment i not been to but i heard it is wonderful they really do put there all into this yearly event.

So if you like to go either pack up a picnic or buy from the number of food stalls on sight, and make sure you make a full day of it as there so much to do, my kids especially liked the animal tent where you got to handle and feel some unusual animals.

Plus all the manufacturers give out bags of freeebies from pens , balloons, nappies, dogfood, just to name a few.

give yourself a treat this year and attend well recommended

Summary: way to go
