Icicle Hot Air Balloon Festival

Marlborough, Wiltshire, UK

Dates: Usually first weekend of the year.

The Meet is informal, un-sponsored and open to all hot air balloonists. As usual we will be running a farmers draw and will be looking for a donation of £15 in cash or kind, per hot air balloon at the first briefing, or £10 in advance (see our pre-booking "Save a Fiver" offer).

The First International Icicle Hot Air Balloon Meet was held at Marsh Benham, Newbury, on 6th/7th January 1973, the first weekend in the New Year being the permanent date for this event.

James and Fiona Liddiard have hosted the Icicle Meet at Warren Farm every year since 1993 and Mike Drye has been in charge of the overall organisation since 1988.
