We were delighted to speak to BBC Bristol live on radio from the Bristol Balloon Fiesta site on Friday 12th August. They have also filmed some footage of our popular special shape balloons and put a short video together about why we're doing what we're doing and how it started.
Read our 2022 Bristol International Balloon Fiesta review and summary, looking back on a spectacular 4 days of hot air ballooning at Ashton Court Estate. See what is was like from our team's point of view attending for the first time with a fleet of special shape balloons.
Hi everyone. Well, we're back here again; the long, cold winter is done and dusted, and this year's hot air ballooning season is upon us. Here at MJ Ballooning, we wanted to do something a little different for 2022 and are pleased to announce our brand new Bristol & Bath Hot Air Balloon Guide.
We are very excited to reveal our latest special shape balloon, the orange! It joins our other special shapes Joycam Lips G-LIPS and Choc Dips G-DIPI. Registered G-CDXW, this Orange-120 was built by Cameron Balloons in 1993 and is in fantastic condition.
“Are you going to fly it?” was the most frequent question I was asked when myself and friend Tom purchased the G-LIPS special shape balloon earlier this year. Well, yes, we did, with a little bit of help…
After another successful event in June, the Midlands Air Festival have confirmed dates for 2022. Ragley Hall Estate will host the event for a third year, welcoming aviation enthusiasts and hot air balloon fans from across the country for three days of fun family entertainment.
Our two special shapes and hopper were tethered alongside each other at Ashton Court on Sunday 18th July. No fiesta, no event, just a normal evening in Bristol! Read all about the evening below.
We are excited to announce our second special shape purchase, returning to Bristol alongside G-LIPS. It was built by Cameron Balloons 33 years ago, way back in 1988...
We have another exciting and 'special' announcement on the way very soon at MJ Ballooning! What could this one be? Keep a look out...
