4/5
I had fond memories of the night time Bristol balloon fiesta (8 years ago?), so decided to return this year (daytime). Sooo disappointed, it felt like there were hundreds of touristy-type stands (mainly fast food and balloons) and about six balloons in the middle of the field.Parking was also extortionate (£20.00 and you still had to walk half a mile or so) and the parking attendant told us he had turned people away from the priority parking area (pre-booked at additional cost) due to it being full.Sadly, unable to recommend this. It is probably worth taking a picnic and watching the event from a distance :![Sheda11](https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0a26m22344bjvwiu86389.jpg)
