Welcome to Kendal Mountain Festival
Presented by Blacks
Kendal Mountain Festival is the UK's premier mountain film festival. It is
an award-winning and the most diverse event of its type in the world. Our
vision is to inspire more people to explore, enjoy and represent mountains,
wilderness and their cultures.
We host a highly respected international film competition, a packed lecture programme of guest
speakers, filmmakers and athletes and crucially it’s the main social gathering for outdoor
enthusiasts. We have thousands of visitors from home and overseas, hundreds of film screenings
including high-profile premières plus plenty of special guests making this a must-do long weekend in
The Lake District.
So please stay in touch, sign-up for our newsletter. Keep an eye on our website for the latest news
during 2016 plus our upcoming worldwide TOUR dates.
