Online to everyone, everywhere
We’ve received a record number of entries into our Film Competition, and we’re blown away by the quality and breadth of the line-up that we’re able to bring you from across the world. A new way of enjoying films that will allow you to explore our carefully curated programmes and catch the movies that are important to you.
The result is an extended 10-day Festival that you can watch at your leisure, wherever you like. And the bonus is that everything will be available on catch-up for a period after the Festival.
New Dates
Thursday 19 to Sunday 29 November
So... this year, the Festival will take place over 10 days, starting on Thursday 19 and finishing on Sunday 29 November. Finally; your chance to catch all those sessions, lectures and films that you can’t usually fit in!
Tickets
If you love our usual Basecamp experience with its mixture of free lectures and the chance to check out new kit, meet athletes and take part in competitions, don’t worry. Our Virtual Basecamp will be up and running, bringing you a truly interactive experience featuring all of the above in the digital realm. The only thing that’ll be missing is the bar; you’ll just have to head for the fridge.

Festival Programme
Navigating Kendal (the event, not the one-way system) can be complicated, which is why we’ll be producing our Festival Programme in full to help you plan. It’ll be available in interactive and downloadable format for you to schedule your 10 day experience.
Even better, a limited number of printed copies will be available before the Festival, on recyclable paper and using vegetable ink, available on request for £2.00 P&P (UK postal area only).
Please email us your address by 31 October and we’ll get a copy to you.
Embracing a new challenge
As mountain enthusiasts, we’re all familiar with the challenge of assessing risk. Do you continue to head for that summit, or seek another route?
Recent events have made it clear that, for us, it’s time to re-calibrate. We all want Kendal Mountain Festival to excite and inspire in the same way that it has for forty years. But bringing people together on the ground this particular year, with the constantly-shifting guidelines, is looking increasingly problematic.
We have therefore taken the decision to move Kendal Mountain Festival online-only. Is this a big move? Yes. Is it sensible? Yes. Will it still bring the Kendal magic? Absolutely!
We’ll be pouring all our effort and energy into creating an amazing experience at Kendal Mountain Festival Online.
So it’s onwards and upwards!
We’re staying positive, creative and bold as ever.
