Sat 13th June 2026 12:00pm - 6:00pm
Join us around Abbot Hall for the Kendal Pride Village. Visit stalls, meet up with like-minded people or enjoy a drink or some food. Don’t forget to get your toes tapping with entertainment on the stage from 12.30pm hosted by RuPaul Drag Race UK’s Viola.
Free activities will include a climbing wall, family crafts with Ragtag Arts, crafts with Queer By Gum, the Proud Pooches Dog Show and much more besides. And while you’re here, take advantage of half price entry to Abbot Hall and see our queer visual art commissions.
Plus, head into the Kendal Pride bar for a drink or visit one of our food vendors to grab a bite to eat.
Our brand new Soapbox Stage will also be at Abbot Hall, giving emerging queer performers a space to share new work as part of the Pride Village programme. It is a great chance to catch something new and support local queer creativity.
