About: Longleat’s Icons of the Sky is a spectacular three-day aviation event held across the historic Longleat Estate in Wiltshire. Bringing together hot air balloons, special-shaped balloons and incredible aircraft displays, the event sees the skies above Longleat come alive from morning through to night. Visitors can experience mass balloon launches, tethered displays and high-energy aerobatics, before each day draws to a close with Longleat’s iconic illuminated Night Glow and a spectacular fireworks finale. In 2026, Icons of the Sky takes place from 11-13 September, as Longleat also celebrates the 60th anniversary of its Safari Park. Also making its first appearance will be the rare Chateau Balleroy balloon, commissioned by Malcolm Forbes, publisher of Forbes magazine, who built a world leading collection of special-shape balloons - each designed to represent a country he visited.
