Lytham St Anne, near Blackpool, UK. 30th July, 2016. Lynn Bleasdale, was one of first kiters to arrive at this annual seaside festival of Sky Art with her ground bouncer animal inflatables. The festival featured single line kites of all shapes and sizes, including a massive 30 metre long inflatable Octopus, flying cows, dalek, dragons and even hippos. Plus 2-line and 4-line stunt kites.

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.
