The World's Longest Running Hot Air Balloon Fest
The meet was first hosted in 1973 by David Liddiard at his Bradfords Farm, Marsh Benham, then for the next 21 years by his son, James at Warren Farm, Savernake, near Marlborough. In 2014, however, the meet moved to a new flying venue at Marlborough Common, and in 2015 to Folly Dog Leg, Hungerford. For the first 43 years, the event was organized by the Dante Balloon Group. Since 2016, the event has been run by the 3-4-40 Region BBAC and is now hosted at Donnington Grove Hotel and Golf Club near Newbury.
