Each year a Balloon Festival takes place on the site of the International Eisteddfod in Llangollen, North Wales. North Wales doesn't get the greatest coverage for the aviation enthusiast, in fact Hawarden Spotters is the only dedicated site reporting daily activity anywhere in this part of the principality.

The best way to keep up to date with future festivals (and nearer the time to book tickets on-line at a reduced price!) is to visit the official web site. you can do this by clicking on this link.
