This summer, GoSkippy joined the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta as the official car park sponsor supporting a much‑loved event that brings Bristol together every year.

From the 8th –10th August, thousands of people poured into Ashton Court to watch the famous morning ascents, night glows and a sky full of colour. As a brand with deep Bristol roots, being part of a festival that means so much to the city felt like a natural fit.

Welcoming You to the Fiesta
If you came along, you probably saw us before you even reached the balloons. Our team helped make sure your arrival was smooth and stress‑free, with GoSkippy‑branded car park tickets and clear signage guiding visitors into the event. It’s a small touch but one that helped kick off the day with a bit more ease.

You may have also spotted us in the Fiesta programme or around the car parks, waving you in with bright feather flags and banners as the excitement built.

Why We Got Involved
For us, the Fiesta is about community. It’s about backing the events that bring people together, spark lifelong memories and showcase the best of Bristol. Supporting the Fiesta means supporting the people who make this city what it is: families, friends, food vendors, balloon teams, and everyone who shows up year after year to take in the view.

We’re proud to have played a small part in such a huge moment for the city. Whether you were there for the balloons, the atmosphere or just a great day out, we were right there with you.
