Kites of all descriptions, sizes and colours take to the air for two days of aerial displays over Sewerby Fields. From flying frogs to sky-high snakes and leaping lizards to daredevil dragons, scores of exotic inflatables add a splash of colour to the cliff tops above the popular seaside resort of Bridlington.
