IMAGINE... A return to the roots - a place where the creative spirit and the core values of festival culture are upheld. High quality production is standard, musical diversity the foundation, and where audiences feel valued, respected and a deep sense of community.

Chai Wallahs is back at Kendal Calling 2026! We'll be providing nothing but the finest independent sounds around to keep you movin' & groovin' underneath the travelling stretch all weekend long!

Let the mighty gates roll open to welcome the Settlers. From Monday to Wednesday before the main weekend, a miscellany of activities and workshops await at the Settlement: from misty mountain morning yoga to marshmallows by moonlight, from foraging to fire shows and silent discos under the stars.
