Your Ultimate Hiking Weekend

KESWICK MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL 20TH – 22ND MAY

Kick off the summer festival season in style at Keswick Mountain Festival (KMF) from 20-22 May, based at the Festival Village in Crow Park, with the backdrop of Derwentwater and the Lake District fells.

KMF is now one of the UK’s best-loved outdoor festivals and attracts thousands of visitors to the iconic fells and lakes of Cumbria with its unique mix of live entertainment, sports races, outdoor adventures, high profile speakers, taster activities, exhibitor stands, KMF Accessibility Zone, and camping for all of the family.

KMF’s 2022 schedule of sports and outdoor races and challenges includes 18 confirmed walking, running, cycling, swimming, and multi-sport events over two days. Well established favourites like the 3 Peaks Hike, adidas TERREX Trail Runs, Back O’Skiddaw Cycling Sportive and Aquasphere Derwent Bay Swims return, alongside more recent additions like the Hell In The Fells Gravel Ride, Coledale Hike and Walla Crag Walk. The full schedule is available on the KMF website.

Huey Morgan – DJ, raconteur, author, producer, broadcaster and Fun Lovin’ Criminal – will headline in the Festival Village on Saturday 21 May. A regular presence on BBC 6 Music and Radio 2, Huey will bring his New York Lower East Side sensibility to Cumbria with a DJ set at KMF that will join the dots between funk, soul, disco, classic hip hop and rock ’n’ roll. Headlining on Friday 20 May will be English working class Celtic-folk-punk band Ferocious Dog, bringing a high energy live reputation that reflects the group’s roots and name.

KMF has a wide range of ticket options for each night of live music or for the whole weekend. Everyone who enters a sports or outdoor event at KMF will also receive a ticket for one of the nights of entertainment in the Festival Village.
