There's something for everyone in the historic market town of Kendal, where the Castle ruins overlook a lively shopping and cultural scene. Don't miss the 13th century Parish Church, one of the widest in England, Kendal Museum, one of the oldest in the country and Abbot Hall Art Gallery, one of the finest small galleries in Britain. The Brewery Arts Centre has a programme packed with film, theatre, music and exhibitions all year round. Take a look at the Lakeland Life and Industry Museum or view the Quaker Tapestry, made by over 4000 people from 15 countries. From famous high street names to specialist shops, shopping centres to farmers markets, Kendal offers retail therapy for all with a wide range of tearooms, restaurants and pubs to keep you going. Leisure facilities include a pool, climbing wall, dry ski slope, golf courses and fun facilities for the kids. Festivals take place all year round from the Medieval Market in May, Kirkland Festival in July to the Torchlight Carnival and Westmorland County Show in September and the Mountain Film Festival in November.
