IN PICTURES: 17 fantastic photos of Filey Kite Festival as it emerges from sea fret

Filey Kite Festival was at the mercy of the Autumn weather, however thick sea fret and rain showers didn’t dampen the spirits of the hundreds of visitors.

The free event, organised by North Yorkshire Council and the Northern Kite Group, was held at Filey Brigg Country Park.

Featuring some of the UK’s best kite flyers, the festival showcased some of the brightest and most extravagant kites which in previous years have included clownfish, huge pandas, octopus, and snakes.

This year, for the first time, the event included a food festival with a variety of stalls selling the best that Yorkshire has to offer.

The weather, as unpredictable as ever, meant conditions were difficult; however the festival continued and put on a fantastic show. Although the sea fret created a dramatic atmosphere, the spectacle of the huge kites was still awe-inspiring.
