Keswick Mountain Festival: The Ultimate Outdoor Adventure Experience
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Lake District, Keswick Mountain Festival (KMF) is the UK’s premier celebration of outdoor sports, adventure, and live entertainment. Taking place from 16-18 May 2025, the festival offers an action-packed weekend filled with trail running, hiking, open water swimming, cycling, triathlons, and adventure racing, catering to all abilities—from beginners to seasoned athletes.
Beyond the sporting challenges, KMF delivers an unforgettable festival experience. Enjoy inspirational talks from world-class adventurers, test out the latest outdoor gear from leading brands, and relax in the vibrant festival village with live music, great food, craft beer, and family-friendly activities.
New for 2025, festival-goers can unwind in the lakeside sauna, take part in outdoor skills workshops, and immerse themselves in the Kendal Mountain Tour: A Night of Adventure Films, hosted at Theatre by the Lake.
Whether you're here to race, explore, or soak up the atmosphere, Keswick Mountain Festival is an unmissable weekend for anyone who loves the great outdoors.
