ALL eyes will be aimed towards the skies this weekend when an annual kite festival takes place in Darlington.

The event, organised by Darlington Rotary Club, will take place at Eastbourne School from noon to 5pm on Sunday.

Visitors can see Indian fighting kites, large inflatable soft kites and demonstrations of two and four-line stunt kites at the Magnet Kite Flying Festival.

There will also be face-painting, helium balloon races and a tug-of-war.

Entry is via Hunden's Lane and costs £1 for adults and 50p for children.
