Event Details
To celebrate our film programmes this year at Kendal Pride and the Scottish Queer International Film Festival, and to stand in solidarity with the local LGBTQIA+ community, Kendal Mountain Festival is proudly supporting an evening of Queer-led films.
The event will be hosted by one of the Kendal Mountain team and Kendal Pride organisers, Emily Lyons and Festival Artistic Director Claire Carter. This Collection will transport you all over the world and showcase a multitude of folk from the community, from those getting outdoors everyday and people at the top of their game.
