Support
Pride

Kendal Pride relies on support from local businesses, funders and, of course, people in our community.

Our Mission

To increase visibility of the LGBTQIA+ community in Kendal and the South Lakes, support people to make meaningful connections and introduce them to the outdoors.

The Dream

Kendal Pride will offer something different to the other pride festivals that take place across the UK - we’ll be bringing colour to the Old Grey Town.

Enjoy The Outdoors

Rooted in our natural environment, we’ll take people on adventures to enjoy the outdoors in an inclusive and safe way.

Arts

The arts will play a central role too, with craft, creativity and film all part of the mix, and there’ll be spaces for families and young people to celebrate pride together.

Pride Every Day

We’ll encourage and empower local businesses to become more LGBTQIA+ inclusive, giving them the knowledge to make sure Kendal is queer-friendly 365 days a year.
