With the fabulous Al-Farsi kite team from Kuwait bringing the biggest collection of huge kites to St Annes, this year the Kite Festival is truly international! Led by Abdulrahman Al-Farsi, the world renowned Kite Team should be easy to spot on St Anne's beach wearing their distinctive blue uniforms. You can also meet Oscar, the world's largest teddy bear kite and you're not seeing things - pigs, dogs, cows and hippos really can fly.
