WELCOME
TO KITECALENDAR.CO.UK
We hope you
find an event that starts your journey into the wonderful world of
kites.
You will be amazed at what modern kiteflying is all about
- far from what most imagine it to be. Go
to a kite event, have some fun, and meet the enthusiasts who will
be only too happy to help.
Some of the
events listed here are small gatherings, others
are large International Festivals, some are 'turn up and
fly your kite' type of event with no trade stands or demonstrations,
others may charge an admission fee to dazzle you with a programme
of events. Most are held
all day, usually commencing around 10.00am - weather permitting of
course!
So, may there be wind on your back
a smile on your face
and a kite in the sky.
Julie and Jim White
