Visit Oswestry Hot Air Balloon Carnival, a family friendly event in the centre of Oswestry taking place on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd August 2026.

Watch hot air balloons as they take off from Cae Glas park in the centre of town and soar away. Weather permitting the balloons take off early morning and early evening.

It’s more than just balloons though! On Saturday – visit Oswestry’s famous street market. Or you can take a ride on a heritage train from the station down to Weston Wharf and back.

Come along on Saturday and Sunday and enjoy two days of entertainment in Oswestry’s Cae Glas park.

Saturday night’s finale is the Night Glow. Watch as the hot air balloons light up to build to a stirring music finale – it’s amazing!

Although it is a free event, donations for Nightinglae Hospice are very welcome.

It all depends on the weather though so fingers crossed for a sunny two days without rain or too much wind!
