		The festival has become such a staple part of the town's calendar that it is easy to think that it has been around as long as hot air ballooning, but in fact the festival began life only 15 years ago as quite a low-key event.
		This year organisers have gone back to basics, with the festival emphasis firmly on celebrating the unique and exciting experience of ballooning.
		This includes balloon tethering and inflation races throughout the day, the fantastic massed ascent balloon races each morning and spectacular balloon glows tonight and tomorrow evening.
