Visitors flock to Bridlington Kite Festival

Bridlington Kite Festival attracted hundreds of visitors to Sewerby Clifftops at the weekend.

The festival was organised by East Riding Council’s Visit East Yorkshire Events Team, in partnership with The Northern Kite Group. The festival has grown to become one of the most popular spring events on the East Coast. Alongside the professional demonstrations, visitors had the chance to join in with loaned kites during supervised sessions. Photographer Richard Ponter went along to frame the fun.
