Kendal Calling

Kendal Calling is an intimate and boutique UK music festival set in the beautiful surroundings of Cumbria’s Lake District.
Each summer Kendal Calling curates a diverse lineup that spans across the genres, taking in rock, indie and dance music, while also laying on a wide range of food and drink, as well as quirky art installations, pop-up bars, a market, and a cinema.
What’s more, Kendal Calling is also a perfect festival to take the family to, thanks to its dedicated kid’s area that’ll be showcasing all kinds of entertainment throughout the weekend.
