Discover Kendal’s finest historic house and award winning art gallery. Exhibitions showcase a variety of works by a wealth of international artists.
Georgian period rooms allow you to glimpse what life was like in another time and provide views of the River Kent and Kendal Castle. Get messy in the Art Studio, linger in the exhibition spaces and come to one of our popular events. Families can learn together with trails and discovery bags, which contain everything needed to investigate the art works.
Alongside our Gallery, step back in time and discover how the people of Cumbria lived, played and worked at the Museum of Lakeland Life and Industry. This quirky, colourful collection brings history to life through a wonderful mixture of exhibitions, period rooms and a chance to wander down the street scene to explore shops including a chemist, printing and a toy shop. Take a relaxing seat by the fireplace in the parlour and read a book. Learn about lost Lakeland trades.
Try on period costumes and discover more about Lakeland life. Look out for activities that the whole family will enjoy. Café, Gift Shop and Parking all available on site.
