Be sure to check out Keswick’s yearly festivals and events. You won’t be disappointed.
Keswick Mountain Festival is a unique event offering a fantastic mix of outdoor activities and live music in the Lake District. There is a varied choice of sports (trail runs, triathlon, swimming, cycling and hiking), activities and entertainment aimed to inspire all ages and abilities.
Eyes are now being trained on Film Festivals across Europe and the world, where we will be seeking out the very best of world and independent cinema to bring to local screens. We hope that KFF’s spectacular programme will also raise spirits after what might be a difficult winter.
Over 500 ducks are launched on the longest day of the year with the support from local Keswick Scout groups, Keswick Anglers, Lions and Rotary.
The day will begin with a festive food and gift market, with entertainment on the main stage and the lights switch on. Dog owners are asked to think carefully before bringing their own dogs to the light switch on, the market square becomes busy and there will be loud music.
The next festival is on the 2nd and 3rd June 2023 and will be the 25th year so one to be there for!
Keswick Victorian Fayre takes place on the first Sunday in December. It has live entertainment by local artists, bands, choirs, and dancers in the Market Square and in Packhorse Court throughout the day as well as a children’s funfair.
The Keswick Convention is a unique Christian event. Christians from all over the UK and from around the world gather in Keswick to hear the Word of God and to sing God’s praises, to be encouraged, inspired and equipped to love and live for Christ in His world. It is free and everyone is welcome.
The Eden Valley Artists Network (EVAN) is a network created by a group of artists who felt the need within the local area for artistic developmental opportunities and promotion, that would bring wider benefit to communities in the North Lakes, West Lakes and Eden Valley (North of Cumbria).
