I've gathered a fleet of 16 old retired hot air balloons, all with links to the area where I live and Fly my own hot air balloon, The main link being to protect the design heratage of the constructurs which have built balloons in the towns of Oswestry and Wrexham.
Donated by enthusiastic balloonists over the last 5 years, this was never going to be a short term commitment, with the majority of the time balloons stored in one location or another for safe keeping, and then on warm sunny days given an inflation and shown to a crowd, friends or at a festival.
So with the storage closing, the plan kicked into place, Dig, Shift, Build and move,
Welcome to THE BIG (little) BALLOON MUSEUM.
