Get hands on as you design and build your very own kite to keep! Open to anyone aged 5 and over, your kite design is as limitless as your imagination. Whether you're young or just young at heart, these sessions offer a fun and creative way to be part of the festival.

Each 45-minute workshop includes everything you need to assemble and decorate your own kite. Once your colourful kites are complete, head outside to join the excitement of Kite Fest with your very own kite!

Workshops will go ahead rain or shine. If the weather is unsuitable for kite-flying, workshop participants will still be able to create and keep their kite to fly on another breezy day.
