Many of our attractions offer special rates and incentives for groups and their organisers.  Ask the individual museums and galleries for more information on booking.

Kendal has excellent transport links and is easily accessible by road and rail. It’s ideal for a stand alone group visit or use Kendal as a base for visiting the nearby Lake District, Yorkshire Dales or the North West.  The Lake District National Park boundary is under a mile away and it’s just a short distance to Bowness-on-Windermere (10 miles), Ambleside (13 miles), Hawkshead (17 miles) or Grasmere (19 miles).

See our Getting Around page for more useful information about travelling to Kendal.
