In pictures: Hot air balloons take to the skies during Northampton Balloon Festival 2023

After a windy start to the 2023 Northampton Balloon Festival, hot air balloons were able to take to the skies on Sunday (August 20).

Dozens of balloons took off from the Racecourse on the final day of the festival, and it was a sight enjoyed by thousands.

On Saturday, despite the great British weather halting flights, plenty of fun was still had with the on-ground entertainment.
