The organisers of the Telford Balloon Fiesta have confirmed that fitness personality Mr Motivator will appear at this year’s ticketed Night Glow, part of the three-day celebration taking place at Telford Town Park’s QEII Arena from 28–30 August.
Evening spectacle to kick off a Bank Holiday weekend
The weekend opens with a ticketed Night Glow on the Friday night, followed by two days of free family events across Saturday and Sunday, culminating in the popular Telford Carnival on Sunday. The Night Glow promises a programme of live music, performance and visual spectacle, ending with illuminated hot-air balloons choreographed to music.
The curated entertainment bill for the Night Glow will be hosted by Paul Shuttleworth and features a mix of acts including Arco Loveheart, Boardroom Café Science Show, Alfie Hayward Fire Dance and family performances alongside Mr Motivator, who is billed to set an energetic tone for the evening.
“I’m delighted to be joining the Night Glow line-up at this year’s Telford Balloon Fiesta. It’s going to be a brilliant evening of colour, energy and family fun and I can’t wait to meet everyone in Telford. I will get you moving, laughing and having fun, and help set the mood for what promises to be a truly spectacular night!”
