AROUND 3,000 visitors flocked to Victory Park in Barnoldswick on Saturday to experience a visual spectacular.
The huge Balloons over Barlick festival proved to be bigger and better this year, with visitor numbers doubling.
Unfortunately windy conditions meant flights had to be delayed until the evening, but at around 6.30pm six balloons launched into the sky while others remained at the park to prepare for the spectacular night glow.
One of the organisers, Coun David Whipp, said: "That was out of this world. If you have not seen it, it's difficult to describe in words. Because of the majesty it is just a pure spectacle."
He added that the festival would continue to grow. "Next year we hope to double again," said Coun Whipp.
