Don’t forget Dad on Father’s Day with a Go Fly Your Kite surprise!

The News Letter has teamed up with the County Down business to offer readers the chance to win one of the 10 special Father’s Day kite boxes up for grabs.

Worth £26.50 each, the kite box includes kite, markers, graphics, rods and kite handles plus much more.

Everyone is feeling the pressures of lockdown so why not give that ‘special’ Dad something to get him out in the open air and enjoying family time.

Managing Director Glenn Heasley explained: “Despite having existed for a long time, only recently have the therapeutic benefits of kites been considered through study and research.

“Our age range is from four to 94 year olds. As well as de-stressing, designing your own kite takes people back to their childhood and fond memories. The relaxing environment and creativity act as a release for those involved - it can be very therapeutic and can make the perfect gift.”

As well as selling online kite design kits that family and friends can enjoy while still keeping to the social distancing guidelines, Go Fly Your Kite also delivers virtual art and educational workshops all over the UK and Ireland.

A passionate business with a wealth of experience delivering workshops to over 25,000 participants a year, working with children, young people and adults, the team pride themselves in their innovation during the pandemic.

Glenn added: “Our ethos is to encourage and facilitate learning through STEM workshops, confidence building and artistic skills through fun.

“We promote positivity and a ‘can do’ approach for every child or adult. This is really important from the outset to get the best from each individual and maximise their enjoyment.

“The workshops are much more than just the kite, it’s building self-esteem, social interaction with peers, cross community and multi-cultural engagement as well as harnessing people’s artistic skills for the future and, of course, it promotes physical activity getting outdoors and enhancing time spent with family and friends.

“We aim is to provide great service, great delivery and create fantastic memories for all who use our kites - both young and old.”
