A MAIDENHEAD-based arts centre is preparing to fly high with its end-of-summer celebration.
Taking place on Sunday, September 4,between noon and 4pm, the Norden Farm Kite Festival is a free event.
Families taking part can enjoy making kites and flying them, as well as being able to take in entertainment and buy food and drink from local vendors.
Throughout the summer term, Norden Farm has been holding Kite Making Workshops with schools in its patch, as well as community groups including Thames Valley Adventure Playground and Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice.
Workshops for the general public are being held at Norden Farm on Thursday, August 25, at 2pm and 3.30pm. Suitable for all the family, tickets are £6 per person.
All workshops are led by Chris Jarrett from Community Kite Project.
They work with people all over the world – from London to Lebanon. It was founded by Jo Peel, Christopher Jarratt and Tom Tobia in 2011.
Everyone who creates a kite is encouraged to bring it along to the Kite Festival – as well as any kites that families might already have at home.
There’s also the chance on the day to get creative and decorate a kite with one of our kits.
The Kite Festival is supported by funding from the Spoore, Merry and Rixman Foundation, The Cyril Taylor Charitable Foundation and Berkshire Community Foundation.
