Join the celebration.
The Kite Festival celebrates the hidden history of Cambridge’s most dynamic neighbourhood. Once a hub of ingenuity, resilience, and collaboration, The Kite’s story continues to inspire us today. Many of you have already contributed to The Navigator, a ground-breaking installation created from over 100 shared stories and built with ARU StoryLab—and now it’s time for the big reveal.
Explore the festival’s other key events: Town and Gown Conversations in collaboration with The Cambridge Room, tackling themes of land, power, and change; the Waffles Café, a pop-up revival of a treasured community hub; and the Kite Flying Finale, where we’ll send our hopes for the future of The Kite soaring.

Using money raised by National Lottery players, The National Lottery Heritage Fund supports projects that connect people and communities with the UK’s heritage.
Let’s Go Fly the Kite is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we are able to engage our community in rediscovering, sharing, and celebrating a story of Cambridge in which those who have been socio-economically marginalised can identify.
