First established in 2007, Keswick Mountain Festival (KMF) has become one of the UK’s largest Mountain Festivals.

Breakthrough Events were approached to support the operations & logistics across the event where Lisa heads up the role as the Operations Director across the planning, build & delivery phase of the festival.

KMF sees over 20,000 visitors and 100+ exhibitors from across the outdoor industry come together over 2.5 days. 

The festival takes place on the shores of Derwent Water and boasts 360 degrees views of one the most stunning areas in the Lakes District.

This family-friendly festival is all about inspiring people to get out into the great outdoors. In 2021, the festival created an accessibility zone with exhibitors that supported access into the outdoors for those with disabilities, helping to make the outdoors a welcoming place for all.

Spectator and participation sports include trail running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, aquathon, hiking and more. There is a full programme of talks from world class athletes, mountaineers and adventurers as well as two evening sets packed full of live music.
