Eric the Elephant at Bristol Balloon Fiesta

A windy start at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta this year meant no balloons on the first morning. But due to the amazing crowd who still turned up, several balloon teams did a meet and greet with their baskets so people could experience what it’s like inside.

We thought we would do something different and got Eric the Elephant out for people to take pictures with. He became quite the hit and even had some unearthly visitors grab a picture too.
