Unlike the average kite, the specimens that will be taking to the skies are real giants rather than those that the average person would be flying in their local park.

Visitors to the tower can see the display on the Tilting Greens and, weather permitting, there will be extra demonstrations in the walled gardens of some of the smaller kites.
