Weather permitting, we hope to welcome up to 70 pilots and their hot air balloons to the country fair. They'll fly above the house, and across the estate, and surrounding villages.
Wind conditions on the day determine the timing and location of their take-off, flight path and landing but look to the skies above Chatsworth to see a multitude of different balloon designs - from fire hydrants and screwdrivers to traditional globe shapes.
On Friday and Saturday evenings, following the closing ceremony, there will be an inflation demonstration and take off in the Grand Ring.
The balloons commence their inflation from 6am. Country Fair ticket holders who want to watch the balloons take off may park in the west car park from 6am - please note that this is only accessible via the B6012 past Edensor.
Important - the Fair gates open at 9am, there is no access to the showground or Chatsworth before this time.
View approximate timings for the balloon ascent in the Fair timetables below.
Please appreciate that, as the event and all performances are outdoor and 'live', all timings are provided as a guide only and may be subject to change and weather conditions.
