We work with venues all over Kendal to offer a packed programme over the Festival weekend – many of our events take place at the Brewery Arts Centre, and our largest events take place in Kendal Leisure Centre, an 800+ seat venue. 

The Festival extends throughout Kendal’s historic lanes and yards, from Kendal Town Hall, to The Box and The Barrel House.

Just a few minutes from the Brewery Arts Centre, you’ll find our ever-expanding Basecamp Village. With free talks, interactive stands, and a lively food village, this is the true social hub of the Festival, and a great place to hang out between sessions. See below for the addresses of all of the venues we work with across the town.

Our Basecamp Village is wheelchair accessible – please note, only service dogs are allowed inside our Basecamp tents due to the busy environment.
