Brilliant Balloons

Balloons Around the World Day is celebrated on 1 October – we take a look at the simple joys they bring into our lives.

Up, up, and away!

Balloons Around the World Day was started in 2000 to celebrate the joy that these simple inventions have brought into people’s lives. There’s no one who doesn’t enjoy a bright colourful balloon in their day, and they bring a smile to just about anyone – no matter how old they are.

Why not start off your day by bringing a bunch of balloons to your office and watching them brighten up everyone’s day? Or if you’re feeling especially adventurous, why not check out any hot air balloon charters in your area and give yourself an incredible lift? No matter how you choose to celebrate, balloons are sure to bring a smile to your face!
