Flying high with family at Berrington Hall
5:00pm Friday 18th July 2008
BERRINGTON Hall will be taking family fun to new heights when it hosts the seventh Herefordshire Kite Festival.
It is the second time Berrington has hosted the event, which will take place from 11am to 4pm tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday.
Visitors and kite enthusiasts alike will enjoy watching displays and demonstrations set against the wonderful backdrop of the National Trust property near Leominster.
There will also be opportunities to join in and fly your own kite and get some top tips from the experts.
The event is organised by local kite builder Karl Longbottom who designs, makes and flies a wide range of traditional and contemporary kites. Among the attractions at the festival will be sport and single line kites from the Hereford Kite Association, massive Chinese Dragon kites and displays to music.
Normal admission prices apply. For further information, call Berrington Hall on 01568 615721.
