Friday 2nd, Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th September
Kite Flying
Organised by the Sheffield Kite Fliers
Power kiting is a new and exhilarating sport that anyone can try. From the small diamond kites we all remember as children the sport has developed in to one of the fastest growing, adrenaline fuelled extreme sports in Britain today.
The Sheffield Kite Fliers (SKF) are an enthusiastic group of local volunteers here to promote power kiting and help new kiters by providing a friendly and supportive way of learning a new sport. Whether you are interested in flying stunt kites and performing breathtaking tricks or prefer traction kiting with kites able to pull you along on a buggy or board reaching speeds of over 30mph, or even jumping and performing awesome freestyle tricks, the Sheffield Kite Fliers can point you in the right direction.
The SKF will be inviting people to come and watch them as they fly their kites and buggy or board across the field over the river. They will also be inviting you to take part in a free Power Kite Taster session (limited availability - booking on the day is essential). Please come and have a look at the equipment involved, talk to the members about their passion and find out how to take your interest further.
The Sheffield Kite Fliers regularly meet at Lodge Moor to the West of Sheffield and regularly organise trips to beaches and airfields all over the UK where the kites can be unleashed to their full potential.
