This years Bridlington Kite Festival was another great success with people from far and wide coming to watch the colourful displays

The annual Bridlington Kite Festival was, once again, a soar-away success with thousands of people descending on Sewerby Fields.

Kites of all descriptions, sizes and colours took to the air over the weekend (Saturday, May 20 and Sunday, May 21) at the picturesque location. The free event in Bridlington also offered food and drink stalls, fairground rides and children's entertainment.

Organisers of the event estimated that around 15,000 people attended the event over the two days.

There were professional flying demonstrations, while visitors had the opportunity to have a go with the impressive kites.

"We hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did. See you next year!”
