Some of the world's largest Kites will be appearing in Filey over the weekend.
Filey Kite Festival is a new, free to attend the event, which is taking place at the Filey Brigg Country Park on Saturday and Sunday.
The event is expected to attract dozens of the UK’s best Kite flyers, displaying a wide variety of weird and wonderful kites over the Yorkshire coast skies. The weekends’ events will be hosted and commentated by the NKG (Northern Kite Group).
There will also be a children’s fairground ride, trampolines and an inflatable slide to enjoy on Saturday during the event.
The event has been organised by Scarborough Borough Council in association with the Northern Kite Group. They say that throughout the day visitors will see some of the world’s largest kites, including the record breaking teddy bear Oscar, along with assorted animals and other fabulous creations
