The Kendal Calling crew are working hard on the pre-production of this year's première in the fields as ‘Kendal Calling Goes To The Moives’. The theme promises festival goers to have even more fun and frolics in the fields! With the whole festival being a celebration of the movies.

This promises to be a very special production where every area of the festival will take on a different movie genre taking the festival-goers on a journey through Hollywood’s cult classics and much-loved movies past & present. 

Without giving too much of the plot away festival-goers can immerse themselves in the Wild West complete with it’s own Saloon bar, get their freak on in the spooky Horror area and Haunted House(party!), have an adventure in an area fit for Pirates and the likes of Peter Pan, hang out like gangsters and molls, and have a whole host of magical adventures! 

Saturday will be fancy dress day yet again and festival-goers are encouraged to be get their thinking caps on for the leading role they will play this summer. Whether it be a character or object from their favourite movie, be it Adventure, Horror, Sci-Fi, Comedy, Country & Western, Disney or Pixar, Cult Classic, Thriller, Rom Com…Think Rambo, Freddie Krueger, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Terminator, Willy Wonka, Optimus Prime, Jessica Rabbit, Hannibal Lector, Batman, Ghostbuster’s Marshmallow Man, Spiderman… Although it doesn’t have to be a character it could be a much-loved movie star, infamous director or something completely different! In previous years revellers have showed incredible innovation and imagination in designing and donning costumes transforming the ancient Deer Park into a surreal wonderland. 

As well as the movie themed décor Kendal Calling will have a vast array of performace art to excite, enlighten and entertain throughout the weekend, all in-keeping in this years movie theme. So watch out for many more Kendal Calling announcements over the forthcoming months as the festival continues to provide the perfect backdrop for a weekend of musical merriment in the fields.
