Kent Kite Flyers - Home

Welcome

Welcome to the internet home of Kent Kite Flyers, the only general kite flying club in Kent. On this site you will find lots of information about kite flying in general, and Kent Kite Flyers in particular. If you are interested in coming along and giving kite flying a go, why not check out our forum to find out where we are flying. Introduce yourself on the forum or you can just come along. We're a pretty relaxed bunch and will try to make you welcome. Please don't feel shy or inhibited. Even if you have absolutely no experience of flying, we'll try to get you going, and even if you don't have a kite, we can usually find one to let you borrow.

Kent Kite Flyers are affiliated with the British Kite Flying Association

Next Fly-In

We fly all over Kent, and into Sussex, and occasionally cross the channel into France. We no longer have a permanent home, so we tend to fly wherever the spirit moves us. Weather permitting we try to fly every weekend throughout the year, unless attending an event somewhere. We usually discuss our next location on our discussion forum. So if you want an early insight into where we expect to be, or even to suggest somewhere for us to fly, why not pop over there. Alternatively, keep an eye on the upcoming events listed below, our webmaster tries to post the venue of the next club fly-in as soon as we have reached an agreement.

Events

We are more than happy to come along to village fetes, school fetes, private events and the like to run kite making workshops, fly kites of all shapes and sizes, parachute teddy bears for children, etc. For more information contact our events co-ordinator

Upcoming Events

20 Aug

Betteshanger Wind Festival

20 Aug 2022 11:00 am - 21 Aug 2022 5:00 pm

Betteshanger Country Park is now under new ownership, and are keen to reinstate the wind festival after its covid hiatus. The event will run from 11am to 5pm on both the Saturday and Sunday. We will be there on both days, we will have kites to sell, and there will also be a kite making workshop, where you can make a kite to take home with you. Admission to the event is free, though there is a charge for carparking. We will be trying to fill the sky with colour, there will also be kite surfing demonstrations, though I'm not sure how that works on the top of a hill!

10 Sep

Dieppe International Kite Festival

10 Sep 2022 - 18 Sep 2022

We are desperately hoping that this year's event can go ahead after the last two have been cancelled. Possibly the biggest event in the European kite calendar. The whole of the beachfront will be filled with kites from all over the world once again. An event not to be missed, even if you can only make a day trip

25 Sep

Wild about Capstone

25 Sep 2022 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

Back again in its new format, we will once again be supporting the rangers at the Wild About Capstone event. We will be flying kites and selling them as last year.

9 Oct

Blackheath Kite Day

9 Oct 2022 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Back for its second year, we will once again be supporting the kite day. We're hoping for a little more wind this year, enough to actually fly some kites would be nice! We are moving slightly, away from Talbot Place and on the other side of the carpark. We will once again be selling kites. The funfair will be there again along with some food stalls.

The event officially runs from midday to 3pm, but we will be there earlier and probably stay a bit later if conditions are favourable.
