Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is looking for its official charity partner for a two-year partnership. Over the course of four days, the free fiesta – Europe’s largest ballooning event – attracts up to half a million visitors to watch over 100 hot air balloons of all shapes and sizes lift off over the city of Bristol.
The Fiesta, which returns to Ashton Court from August 11-14, works with an official charity partner for two consecutive years to provide a vital fundraising and profile raising opportunity to one organisation within the event and across it’s digital platforms.
Other charities will still have opportunities to exhibit stands in public areas, however, the official charity has the sole right to collect around the site, at the entrance to the site and at the exit gates.
