Visitors to Robin Hill this May Bank Holiday were treated to a spectacular and high-flying event over the weekend.

Robin Hill's annual Sky High event took place in perfect flying conditions, with entertainment, food and the beautiful park attracting thousands of guests over the course of the three days.

The day also included an informative pilot talk in the park's Amphitheatre, where industry experts discussed all things balloon related.

The balloons began to take to the sky at around 7.45pm, with this cow leading the way(!):

The event featured 25 balloons, with an estimated 4,000 people gathering on each day of the bank holiday weekend.

An eclectic crowd of children and adults were able to watch the balloons head into the distance with spectacular flair, as the sun set each evening.
