Special Shapes

Cameron Balloons have justifiably become world-renowned for their special shape balloons, and there are now over 300 flying in the world - 80% of all the special balloons flying. The shapes seem to become more complex each year.Seeing some of the shapes could be quite disconcerting and in fact the sight of Bertie Bassett or the Lurpak man flying over the hill could in certain circumstances be quite surreal!

Other Cameron Balloons special shapes have included:

a house

an 'action man' and the Independence Day spaceship.

A new departure for Cameron Balloons has been to produce the country's first tethered balloon ride. This balloon ride is at Longleat, and can carry 25 people up in the doughnut-shaped gondola that hangs below the envelope. The balloon stays attached to the ground all the time to keep it under control.
