What a perfect way to spend a leisurely summer afternoon flying a kite you have built yourself.
The period from 1860 to 1910 is often referred to as the ‘golden age of kiting’ in Europe, with kite flying becoming a widespread hobby. In an era that had a fascination with flight, children and adults alike were able to participate in this activity by building and flying a kite.
This workshop is suitable for children aged 6-9 years. There will be guided step by step instructions and demonstration from members of the museum team.
Tickets include all materials and instructions. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Maximum 2 children to 1 adult.
Booking essential, spaces are limited.
This event is part of Summer at the Museums 2025.
