Aerospace Bristol feature on BBC Radio Bristol ahead of Bristol International Balloon Fiesta

This morning, BBC Radio Bristol featured a special segment on the much-anticipated Balloon Fiesta, and Aerospace Bristol were thrilled to be a part of it. The programme, hosted by Joe Sims, highlighted the museum’s ‘Look Up! The Story of Hot Air Ballooning in Bristol’ exhibition.

During the segment, Steve Yabsley interviewed Amy Seadon, Head of Collections, Learning & Interpretation, to delve deeper into the exhibition. Amy shared insights into the process of bringing the exhibition to life, the stories behind some of the artifacts on display, and the hot air balloon-themed activities available for visitors of all ages.

In addition to the interview, Steve also spoke with several visitors, capturing their reactions and thoughts on the exhibition. The segment provided a wonderful glimpse into the public's enthusiasm for the exhibition and the Balloon Fiesta.
