SOME of the world’s largest inflatable kites will take to the skies above the dramatic cliffs of the East Yorkshire coast for the annual Bridlington Kite Festival next month. Taking place on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st May, kites of all descriptions, sizes and colours will take to the air for two days of aerial displays over Sewerby Fields.
Year on year, internationally-renowned experts return to the East Yorkshire coast to provide spectacular displays at the free event for thousands of spectators. Alongside the kites, there will be food and drink stalls, fairground rides, face painting and children’s entertainment. There will also be professional demonstrations and visitors can get involved, with kites available for loan during supervised sessions.
