Tens of thousands of outdoor enthusiasts plus media industry specialists, athletes, top brands & equipment manufacturers, artists, photographers, adventurers, explorers and inspirational speakers gather every year to share adventures and celebrate the very best in outdoor and adventure sports culture.At the heart of Kendal’s rich programme is the International Film Competition, attracting premières from around the world – it has been called the 'Oscars of outdoor filmmaking'. Over 150 films are screened (from 400+ entries) with 13 coveted awards up for grabs. However 'Kendal' is not all extreme action - you can experience literature, art, photography, drama, wildlife and environmental documentaries, plus the world's largest lecture programme covering outdoor content. The UK & Global Tour Programme takes the spirit of the Festival – a fusion of outdoor culture, community and inclusivity on the road to tens of thousands of people each year and for those who can't visit the event the new Kendal Mountain Player has launched the brand to over 80 countries making it a truly global organisation.
