Back for its third year following the sell out event in 2019 we are expecting demand to be soaring high with the witches in 2020.

The only thing you should be truly scared of is missing out…

The residents of monster mansion prepare to welcome a new son in law into their family.

This year we plan to hold the fireworks display (which we will confirm in October) unfortunately due to social distancing we will not be holding our usual bonfire night.

As mountain enthusiasts, we’re all familiar with the challenge of assessing risk. Do you continue to head for that summit, or seek another route?

Recent events have made it clear that, for us, it’s time to re-calibrate. We all want Kendal Mountain Festival to excite and inspire in the same way that it has for forty years. But bringing people together on the ground this particular year, with the constantly-shifting guidelines, is looking increasingly problematic.

We have therefore taken the decision to move Kendal Mountain Festival online-only. Is this a big move? Yes. Is it sensible? Yes. Will it still bring the Kendal magic? Absolutely!
