Every year for almost two decades, Kendal Calling has united a community comprised of some of the finest festival goers who gather to make Kendal the magical place that it is. Throughout the site, the sense of community and otherworldly wonder spreads far and wide, creating a festival experience like no other. The wonderful world of Kendal calling has everything from world class artists, breakthrough bands, DJs, comedians and more alongside all of the many nooks and crannies that are waiting to be discovered. With sing-alongs and story-telling, art and light installations, and of course the annual themed parade, not forgetting Kids Calling where the little ones can roam freely.
Andy Smith, co-founder of Kendal Calling said, “Each year, on the morning we go back on sale, we wake up with nervous flutters about how the day is going to unfold. Last weekend was the best show yet, but we’re only human and have the same anxieties anyone else would have. We needn’t have worried – you turned out this morning in record numbers, keen as we are to get back in those fields. This is something we will never ever take for granted and we are so excited to be working to make next year’s 20th birthday jollification the best festival we can possibly produce.”
