🎈 Last weekend, our Production Director, Craig Moore and Rigger, Cam Dunnington attended the Troutbeck Hot Air Balloon Festival in the Lake District.
Organised by Dan & Maddie King and Mark Stelling, Troutbeck combined spectacular flying with a welcoming, grassroots atmosphere that captured everything that's best about ballooning.
Over the course of the weekend, 47 balloons took to the skies above Cumbria while raising awareness and funds for four worthwhile mental health charities. 🫶🏻
As Craig put it afterwards:
🗣️ "What you created was something very special. Brilliantly organised but with a grassroots and relaxed feel. I loved the spirit of the meet, the flying was stunning and the positive reaction from the local community was exceptional."
Thank you and congratulations to everyone involved in making Troutbeck such a success.

We hope this is the beginning of a wonderful new tradition! 💙
