THE Science Museum in Wroughton will be hosting a free Swindon Kite Festival on May 7 and 8.

Professional and amateurs alike will be showing off their skills with people coming from across the world.

There will also be model rocket launches and children's workshops.

Programmes manager Ken Barbour said: "We are happy to welcome the kite flyers back again to the Science Museum this year and delighted that it will be free to visitors."

The festival will run from 10am to 5pm on both days.
