Bristol International Balloon Fiesta has announced there will be no shuttle bus service serving next month’s event. Organisers say it’s due to a shortage of bus drivers.
The Fiesta team is recommending other transport routes to the event, including walking along Festival Way, which leads directly into the city centre where buses and trains can be easily accessed. This a 40-minute walk from Bristol City Centre to Ashton Court Estate where the event is held.
Ashton Court will also have bike parking and cycling is encouraged along dedicated cycle routes to the event site. Visitors are also reminded that the Suspension Bridge will also be closed from 6pm on Thursday and Saturday evening.
