VISITORS to this weekend's York Balloon Fiesta can take advantage of later public transport.

Additional Park and Ride services to and from Askham Bar and Knavesmire will run for £2 return, with free parking at the site and allowing up to three children to travel for free with an adult.

Buses will run until 11pm on Friday and 10.20pm on Saturday and Sunday, and will be running from 6am on Saturday and Sunday to make sure visitors can catch the early balloon launches.

Events include a mass balloon launch between 7am and 8am, children's events from midday onwards, with displays and shows throughout both days.

Saturday will include the 'hot air balloon night glow' between 8.40pm and 9pm, and a firework finale, while Sunday's events will end with a mass balloon launch between 4.45pm and 5.45pm.
