Kendal Calling

Back for our 7th year Kendal Calling is an award-winning, innovative, independent festival based in the Lake District. It features pioneering contemporary music and art alongside traditional rural entertainment. We pride ourselves on being the most fun you can have in the countryside with fields full of activities and attractions for everyone, from families to stag parties!Come and join us for a weekend of festivity and escapism in the fresh country air.

We have a small capacity so you wont be herded around like cattle or spend hours in queues at the bar. Feel the freedom of being able to move between the 8 performance stages in a matter of minutes and never miss an artist.

This is fun the old fashioned way, great times, great entertainment and great friends all in one place!
