Now in its 39th year – Lake District Music’s Summer Festival brings the finest classical musicians to venues across this UNESCO World Heritage Site – including several locations in Kendal.

From string quartets to jazz and baroque specialists to world music, there’s an incredible selection to choose from. But it’s not just about listening to today’s leading musicians, this is the place to get a first glimpse of the next big thing.

Tickets for this year’s festival will go on sale late spring.
