Welcome To The Highwaymen Online Kite StoreWelcome to Highwaymen kites. We're one of the longest established kite businesses in the UK and proud to offer kite products to suit all ages and abilities, both from our website and from our wonderful kite shop based in Hinckley, Leicestershire.
Established in 1992 by Shirley and Dick Turpin, the company started by retailing high quality fighting kites around the UK kite circuit. We are now one of the largest UK kite retailers, and one of Europe's leading kite festival and mail order specialists.
Our products encompass the full kiting spectrum- power kites, sport kites, single line kites, and more- plus a huge range of kite accessories and spares. We manufacture our own delta kites from our workshop located on the shop premises, and offer a wide range of kite materials and spares including carbon, glass and fittings.
More recently we have changed the layout of the shop, all of the kite equipment is now upstairs as we operate mainly mail order, and in the main room we've expanded into a wide range of gifts and home fragrance candles.
Every member of our team can give you help and advice whatever your query, and the majority of our team are experienced kitefliers too, either at enthusiast level or competing. Over the years the Highwaymen's festival stand has grown to over four times its original size and is regularly staffed by as many as six team members.
Our reputation for supplying the very best in traditional and hi-tech products has been developed by listening to what our customers really want.

We carry a large product range here at The Highwaymen, and have one of widest ranges of spare parts of any kite business in the UK. Kiting is only a small industry, so holding stock can be tricky due to short production runs, and high manufacturing costs... however we almost always have an alternative solution to your requirements if we are unlucky enough to be out of stock.
