Families have hit out at a “rip-off” balloon festival – after they saw just two craft inflated. 

A “spectacular hot air balloon display” was promised but locals said they saw none take off despite sunny weather

Some paid £50 for a family ticket to Balloons and Tunes in Romsey, Hants, which also featured live music. 

But one guest said the Lewis Capaldi and Ariana Grande tribute acts were like “pub karaoke”. 

Carole Rabbetts, 75, said her grandchildren were left “upset” as there were only two inflated when her family went. 

She also complained that the food was “foul” and “cost the earth”.

Other festivalgoers also expressed disappointment about the event on its Facebook page. 

Jim Franklin told festivalgoers not to waste their time or money on the “awful event”. 

He said: “There was one bar tent with a 100 metre queue. 

“When you finally got to the front there were no drinks at all apart from warm tins of Jack Daniels and coke that had been sitting on a table all day, for £8-a-can. 

Ema Hutchings said: “There’s a huge feeling of being ripped off here.” 

Balloons and Tunes did not comment.
