THE sky over Sewerby Fields, in Bridlington, is set to be awash with colourful kites as part of a two-day festival.
The kite festival will take place on May 19 and 20 and will see displays from a number of internationally-renowned experts as well as traditional fairground rides and a food village, with plenty of local produce on offer.
Displays will include some of the world’s largest inflatable kites flown by professional flyers, teams of two and four line kite flyers performing sequences to music, a display of unique oriental kites, Indian fighter kites and much more. There will also be a chance for members of the public, particularly children, to have a go at flying some of the kites.
Children will also be encouraged to bring their favourite soft toy for a parachute jump. The teddy will be given a parachute and hoisted up a rig and float gently down from a great height. The owner of each bear will be presented with a certificate to reward them for their bravery.
The kite festival is free to attend and watch and will be open 10am to 5pm on both days.
