About

The East Anglian Kite Flyers return with a selection of large colourful kites that will fill the sky above Layer Marney Tower. Some are over 20m in length and can range from teddies, martians, sea creatures and more. Why not bring your own kite and join in the fun or sit and watch the display in the gardens and enjoy a picnic. The Church and Tower will be open. Climb the steps to the top of the Tower for a birds eye view, then enjoy an ice cream or lunch and refreshments from the tea room.
