This annual event is held on Therfield Heath at Royston and is the Clubs “Flagship” event of the year bringing in thousands of spectators from the area. It is always held on the first Sunday of August and this year it is being held on Sunday 4th August 2024 between 10.30 and 4.30 (Subject to Planning Approval - click here for more information).This is a truly family day out where many groups arrive with their own lightweight chairs and picnic hampers in order to see a huge variety of kites being flown by organised and professional kite flying teams. But it’s not all watching, the children have their own sessions where they bring their own kites along for flying in the main arena or will be able to make kites with their own designs. And there is the highly popular Teddy Bear drop (weather permitting. There are always fairground rides and a bouncy castle to entertain the children. There are always loads of stalls selling various goods all around the perimeter of the site, plus many food stalls and ice cream vans to satisfy the hungriest of people.OnceagainattheKiteFestivalwehopetohavetheaddedattractionoftheHistoricVehicleShowalongside.Thisshow alwayshasarangeofinterestingvehiclesofalltypesandagesforyourinspectionandperhapstobringbacksome memoriesoflonggonevehiclesyoumayhaveownedyourselfatonetime(andnowwishyou’dkept).Thereisalsoa varietyofvehiclesthatchildrenlove,suchasarmyjeepsandaverterantractorwhichtheyareallowedtoclamberover.
