Kite flying in Morecambe

Catch the Wind

Need yet more reasons to move to Halton? The local ‘Catch The Wind Festival’ on the beach at Morecambe could be one. Chris and I went to it on Sunday 24 June. Of course there are the kites themselves, from small to large, and from silly (I especially liked the swarm of multicoloured 45cm ladybirds which just hopped on the beach), to naturalistic (hovering kestrels), to clever formation displays mimicking (far more sustainably ) the Red Arrows.

Formation kites

If you don’t yet have a kite of your own, there is of course a stall ready to remedy that lack – so no excuses!

Add to that Morecambe’s very own marching band, Baybeat and their dancers, with the newly-restored, iconic art-deco Midland Hotel in the background.
Do you play brass or drums, or ever thought you might like to learn? Whatever your age or ability Baybeat would love to have you, and give you the opportunity to strut your stuff.
