I always look forward the balloon fiesta each year and so it was sad to hear that the organisers have decided to cancel the event citing  'continued uncertainty regarding organising large scale events within HM Government’s roadmap out of Covid-19 lockdown'. They say they considered a number of alternatives but ultimately felt measures permitted by government would undermine the 'ethos and accessibility which is at the heart of the fiesta' as well as expose them to a 'huge financial gamble of a seven-figure sum'.
