Kite Tales

A beautiful spectacle of people coming together in celebration of life.

“For me, the joy of kiting lies in that fine sense of extension, in the fact that you have, almost literally, a hand reaching into the sky.” – Wyatt Brummit, author of Kites, 1971

The sight of multiple colourful kites can be breathtaking, and in some of our cultures they can symbolise the connection between the living and loved ones who have passed on.

Giles King and Ciaran Clarke have hosted a series of kite-building workshops — as well as conversations centred around life and death — that have looked to the skies as participants connected their kites with memories, the living, and the spirit world.

You are now invited to the Kite Tales celebratory event at Mount Pleasant Ecological Park near Porthtowan. This will be a visual and sound event that will see numerous kites soaring into the sky above Cornwall, creating a beautiful spectacle of people coming together in celebration of life.

Kite Tales is part of the Hello Stranger project led by Wildworks. This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
