About
We are pleased to have the East Anglian Kite Flyers return with their wonderful assortment of giant kites to fly in the grounds.
The East Anglian Kite Flyers are a small, local group who enjoy flying single line kites whether they be rigid or soft inflatable kites. Some are over 20m in length! They will be happy to chat to you and may have some good tips and tricks, so bring your kite and join in the fun! Alternatively bring your picnic and blankets and watch the entertainment. The gardens, Church and Tower will be open. Climb the steps to the top of the Tower for a birds eye view, then enjoy an ice cream or lunch and refreshments from the tea room.
