Kendal Calling Festival: Everything You Need To Know…

Kendal Calling is a music and arts festival, held every year at Lowther Deer Park in the Lake District. It has grown from a two-day, 900-capacity event in 2006 to welcoming thousands of fun-loving festivalgoers each year.

Kendal Calling opens its arms to festival-goers of all ages! Kids can explore a devoted area brimming with fun activities from craft workshops, to live theatre shows, and giant inflatables! Parents can have a break and enjoy the buzzing festival atmosphere while their kids run wild around the playground or get stuck into crafts.

This family-friendly festival has a dedicated area for families to pitch up their tents and feel safe.

The family campsite is just a 10-minute walk from the arena so your little ones won’t get too grumpy about the journey home. Family camping is generally a much quieter set-up than the rest of the festival’s campsites as you are tucked away. So don’t worry, you won’t be kept awake by other party animals onsite.

If you want to upgrade your experience and enjoy plenty of home comforts there are multiple options to choose from. Pick from Emporers Field, Great Plains and the Deer Lodge Campsite.

Free parking is included when you stop over at one of the campsites.

Tickets to the Kendal Calling Music Festival are available from just £25 & under 5s go FREE!
