Kite Flying • Food • Bar • Live Music • Entertainment • Kite Decorating
Join us at Boyn Grove Park (Punt Hill) for our Community Kite Festival on Sunday 4 September between 12pm - 4pm. It's free to attend!
Round off the summer holidays in style with an afternoon of fun for all the community! Bring your kite creations, pre-owned or shop bought kites and join our team to fly them on the hill.
As well as all the kite flying fun, the afternoon will include food from local vendors and a bar.
Don't forget to bring along your picnic blanket or camping chairs and get set for an unmissable afternoon of entertainment.
Entertainment
Feel good music and dancing comes courtesy of The Dhol Collective. Their drummers and Bhangra DJ fuse traditional Panjabi folk rhythms with popular modern music to get everyone dancing.
Be mesmerised by A Bird in the Hand Theatre Company as they lead a promenade of A Sweep of Swallows.
World Dance company Movema bring their spectacular outdoor performance work Taking Flight.
Live music comes from Lewis & Bros. They are a multi-instrumental three piece folk band. They are regularly found at local open mic nights playing energetic covers and original songs with a range of bizarre instruments.
For the first time award-winning acoustic duo Tomorrow Bird perform at the festival. Drawing musical influences from folk, country and Americana bands their haunting melodies and heart-felt lyrics have transfixed audiences and marked them out as a band to watch!
Food stalls include home made cookies from Get Whisked Away; authentic Punjabi cuisine from Ka Na; Presto Italian Street Food serving authentic Italian pizzas; award winning Epic Brownies; specialty coffees, teas and hot chocolates from Jessie’s Coffee Truck; and Greek food from Greeklicious.
There’s also a licensed bar serving soft drinks, Berkshire Botanicals Gin, prosecco and Rebellion Brewery IPA and lager.
