"Music is a fair and glorious gift of God"
Welcome to the Mary Wakefield Festival ...
Taking place in Kendal, this biennial Festival has been part of Westmorland's musical life since 1885 when Mary Wakefield, daughter of a Kendal Quaker banking family and a keen musician, assembled local choirs to sing and compete together.
Many of the trophies to be won by entrants to the various classes date from the earliest days of the Festival.
The next Festival takes place from 13th to 20th March 2021
The 2023 Festival takes place from 11th to 18th March 2023
If you wish to support the Festival financially, a Sponsorship form can be found here.
