Kendal Cycling Festival 2025

 

The festival ran in 2025 from Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th May.

Highlights for 2025: Karen Darke, Kate Rawles, Richard Ingram, Wheels for All, Giant Kendal and Kendal Mountain Festival films

The festival took place with the support of our partner Bowness Bay Brewing at their venue at Castle Mills, Aynam Rd, Kendal.

The programme included films, talks, music, dancing, food and drinks, as well as cycle rides with Wheels for All, Kendal (accessible community ride) and more strenuous rides brought to us by Giant Kendal.

We are currently looking for sponsors to support the development of future bigger and better cycling festivals in Kendal.

Kendal Walking Festival

Kendal Walking Festival is back for its 9th year, this year from
Friday 28th to Monday 31st August 2026

Walks will take place in and around Kendal from Levens to Rydal, and Grange to the Howgills. We are working with partners across Cumbria to bring an even more varied programme of walks for everyone. In addition to the usual full programme of hill and mountain walks, we have included health walks, walk and swim, walk and yoga, nature walks and short walks around Kendal. Some start in Kendal with either public transport or community transport available. Walks are graded from easy to strenuous. There’s something for all the family.

The full programme will be published in December on the Kendal Walking Festival website at
