The Kites will be flown in the main Kite Flying Arena from 9am - 4pm.

However, please note that kite displays are completely subject to favourable wind and safety conditions, so sometimes will need to break until conditions improve, meaning we cannot guarantee kite displays at all running times of the Festival. When this happens, we do encourage you to explore the other areas of the Festival, bursting with activities and activations, grab a bite to eat, or, better yet, fly your very own kite in one of our public fly zones, until conditions improve and our professional kites once again fill the sky. Thank you for your understanding!
