Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th December 2010 @ Ashton Court Estate, Bristol

Fantastic special shapes and dramatic painted portraits are just some of the highlights that will be flying at the 2010 Bristol International Festival of Kites & Air Creations. The arena programme will feature spectacular flying displays, kite fighting battles, breathtaking synchronised routines flown to music and awesome power kites as well as colourful ground-based inflatables and air sculptures of all shapes and sizes.

Giant 3D special shaped kites in the form of tigers, teddy bears, alligators and a whole array of swirling sea creatures including manta rays, octopi, squid, flying fish and mermaids will be flying high at the Kite Festival. In contrast there will be a flying gallery of beautiful hand-painted pictures and portraits showing the artistry and craftsmanship of kite design.
