Robin Hill's Sky High Event To Return In August

Robin Hill's popular Sky High event will take flight again later this year.

Islanders have been revelling at the sight of hot air balloons floating through the skies above the Newport area this Bank Holiday weekend.

It was such a success, yesterday's (Monday's) final day sold out.

But there is good news for those who missed out: the event is planned to return to Robin Hill from August 20 to 22.

James Crofts, Park Manager, said:

“Given the balloons’ dependency on calm air and stable winds, we’re over the moon to see so many up in the skies this year.

"The joy it’s brought to so many people over the past few days is a delight to see, and we’re all looking forward to welcoming balloons back to the Isle of Wight in August.

"I’d like to extend a huge thank you to all the land owners who have accommodated our crews this weekend and, of course, thank our pilots an wonderful guests for making the last few days so special."

If you’ve visited the park, or seen balloons flying overhead and snapped a few photos, you could be in with a chance of winning an epic photography prize package, courtesy of Robin Hill and their friends at the Island Photo Centre.
