We are visiting Cameron Balloons Factory for a guided tour on Tuesday 14th April (14/04/2026). This is a fantastic opportunity to visit the world’s largest balloon manufacturer and learn how hot air balloons are made. We will meet at College Green near the City Hall fountain at 1PM and then travel to the factory in Bedminster for a tour between 1:30PM-3:30PM. Please advise if you have accessibility requirements.
