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 on www.kitecalendar.co.uk 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!).
May there
be wind on your back,
a smile of your face,
and a kite in the sky.

MORE
INFORMATION ON AN EVENT
When
emailing the contacts in this calendar please allow plenty of time
before the event for a reply, and possible (snail) mailing of relevant
information or car/entry passes.
There is quite
often no use in emailing me for more info - I might know a little
about each event (as a kiteflier I go to as many events as I can)
but I don't know as much as the contact person listed alongside
each event.
If
you know of any kite event, festival or fly-in, anywhere in the
UK and wish to see the event listed here please email
me, Julie White, with the details.
As a service
to kite event organisers all kite events that have been listed on kitecalendar.co.uk
since 2003 are here.
CANNOT
SEE THE INFO BOXES?
If you cannot
see the info boxes alongside each calendar listing that link to the
map, website and email contacts, this might be due to your virus software
(such as Zone Alarm) treating them as banner ads and therefore blocking
them. You can specify kitecalendar.co.uk as a trusted site.
