You've probably already noticed that there's a Hot Air Balloon Fiesta going on in Bristol with nightglows and fireworks at Ashton Court between Thursday 9th and Monday 13th of Aug. It's all FREE to attend and further details can be found here.
Each day over 100 balloons make fly over Bristol towards Bath at 6am and again at 6pm. As they can be enjoyed practically anywhere along that route why not make a magical experience of this spectacle by getting up with the larks and taking breakfast in the local park as you watch all the balloons gracefully pass overhead. You'll also catch some of the dawn chorus, to know which birds you can hear check out this guide to birdsong from the Guardian.
If getting up early is a horrible prospect then many local parks hold mass picnic events in the evening to watch the balloons go over - such as Perretts Park in South Bristol who have a fantastic view of Bristol and the balloons approaching.
