The world famous Kendal Mountain Festival, is the main UK gathering for outdoor enthusiasts, with over 20,000 people assembling here in Kendal each November to meet their heroes, be captivated by tales from the world’s top explorers, watch adventure films and share their own stories of exploration to some of the wildest places on earth.

For 2018, the team behind Kendal Mountain Festival are taking the spirit and inspiration of the Festival to audiences throughout the UK with 16 events, culminating with a finale event at the home of the Festival – The Brewery Arts Centre here in Kendal.

Each evening event will be packed full of award-winning films, first-hand accounts from entertaining explorers and a chance to win a weekend get-away for two to the full Kendal Mountain Festival in November!
