Flying kite finale

The fantastic ten-day Celestial Festival – celebrating the special qualities of South Norfolk’s skies – will come to an end with a spectacular finale on Sunday November 2nd.

It is a free fun day out for all the family at Whitlingham Country Park on Sunday 2nd November from 11am – 3pm.

There will be a series of events throughout the day:

Sky Theatre aerial puppetry will perform two shows of ‘Brother Sun, Sister Moon’.

Team Spectrum will entertain with a selection of novelty kites and single line kites in a variety of routines to music.

Thorpe Kite Flyers will be running kite-making workshops, organising sweetie drops and their Skydivers display team will enthral with a display of stunt kites.

Colourful kite arches made from up to 50 kites will be displayed by the Suffolk Kite Flyers.

The Beccles Bunch will create a focus throughout the day with their Giant Inflatable Kites.

Expert commentary will be provided during the event

Heidi Hadley, South Norfolk Council’s Celestial Festival co-ordinator says:

“This is a chance to highlight the beauty of our skies during the day. The emphasis throughout the Festival so far, has been on dark skies. Today’s events will give everyone the chance to really appreciate how lucky we are to have such wide and lovely expanses of sky, to watch kite-flying at its best and even to have a go at making a kite of your own.”

All displays and events are subject to change without notice and are weather dependent. The use of power and traction kites will not be permitted.
