The Lakeland Festival of Light 2024 will be on Saturday 17th August 2024

Since 2015, our Lakeland Festival of Light series has raised over £77,500 for various charities. The event is completely non-profit and we raise money through generous donations.

This year it is raising money for The Michelle Jurd Trust, a Cumbrian charity ensuring local young people benefit from adventure opportunities to build their confidence and life skills. It also supports the loacl veteran community.

You do not need a ticket to attend the event, but a donation from everyone attending is expected. Donations can be made in cash on the night, or via the weblink (to be posted)

We will meet in Keswick at 6:00pm (Exact meet point TBC) and after an event briefing and a raffle we'll walk to Catbells. This is a distance of 2.5 miles on good trails.

Quite simply, we then line Catbells from the top to the bottom (so you go as far as you wish) and we get some pictures captured by our amazing pro photographer team. The evening can often be a cold one, so come prepared with more clothes than you think. We do have to wait for it to get dark to get an amazing picture, and standing around is chilly, so I'll say it again - be prepared for this! Also don't forget your head torch.

Once the pictures are snapped we descend safely and you walk back to Keswick, with the event wrapping up by about 10pm.

Unfortunately the event is not suitable for mobility scooters etc, but Crow Park in Keswick offers a superb vantage point.

Dogs are welcome as long as they are kept under control and dog waste is removed from the mountain.
