Tickets available for spectacular Telford Balloon Fiesta Night Glow - here's when

Tickets for the Telford Balloon Fiesta Night Glow event are now available - as long as you live in Telford and Wrekin.

Organisers Telford & Wrekin Council said tickets are available for ‘priority bookers’, before being released on wider sale later this month.

The Night Glow, taking place this year on Friday, August 28, from 5pm to 10pm at Telford Town Park, has become a firm favourite, providing an evening of entertainment, atmosphere and family fun.

The ticketed event takes place at the QEII Arena; hot air balloons stay tethered to the ground while their canopies are lit up in time to music, creating a magical and immersive spectacle to start the balloon fiesta weekend.

Before the main display, visitors can enjoy a full programme of entertainment throughout the evening, including live music and activities for all ages.

The council said the Night Glow has been designed as a low-cost event, helping to keep the experience affordable for families, while the rest of the balloon fiesta weekend continues with two full days of free family fun on Saturday and Sunday.

Tickets are now available exclusively to Telford and Wrekin residents, who have the first opportunity to book.

The council said demand is expected to be high, and residents are encouraged to book early to avoid disappointment.

Tickets will go on general sale on Monday, June 29.

Councillor Angela McClements, Telford & Wrekin Council cabinet member for culture, tourism and leisure, said: “Night Glow is always a fantastic way to start the balloon fiesta weekend and one of the most memorable events in our calendar.

“It’s a brilliant experience for families and visitors, bringing people together to enjoy something truly special right here in Telford. We’re committed to keeping the event as accessible as possible, with low-cost tickets for Night Glow and free family fun across the rest of the weekend.

“The event is very popular, drawing crowds from across the West Midlands and the rest of the country, so we’re really pleased to once again offer priority booking for our residents, so they have the first chance to secure tickets.”
