Great speakers and social Basecamp Village

Celebrating both the well documented and lesser-known feats of adventure, endurance and exploration, the Kendal team have worked hard to curate the very best and most entertaining schedule of speakers to accompany the films at this years’ festival.

Headliners for 2016 include Alex Megos, the 20-year-old superstar of modern climbing, Cedar Wright a US climber and filmmaker who’s travelled the world making daring first ascents and some of the leading names from the UK and international mountain biking scene at the ever popular and unforgettable ‘Bike Night’.

The social hub of the event, an enlarged Basecamp Village will be brimming and buzzing all weekend with the Sidetracked Cafe & Bar providing refreshments alongside a programme of free performances on the mini stage. For those looking to bring the adventure to life and explore the outskirts of Kendal, a 10K trail run climbing above the town is open to all.

The perfect environment for those making their first steps into the world of outdoor filmography and photography, The Kendal Mountain Film Academy provides the opportunity to learn the skills necessary to bring stories of adventure and exploration to life, delivered by industry experts, storytellers and professional tutors.
