A SNAKE which has worked with Madonna and a bat from a Harry Potter movie were among the attractions at a balloon fiesta event at Wimborne.
The animal stars at the event at Canford Park Arena were joined by bagpipes and a reverse bungee ride - with a ball and two elastic bands.
Hot air balloons could be seen heading towards Ferndown in the morning as they went for a test run.
Around six balloons went out in the morning, but the weather was not ideal to have them up and tethered as planned.
Five bands were fighting it out to be the winner in radio station 2CR FM's Battle of the Bands in the afternoon.
A 'balloon glow' - with the balloons lighting up along to music - was planned for the evening, but the windy weather meant only one of the balloons was able to go up safely. Fireworks rounded things off at 9.15pm.
