Organisers of the Keswick Mountain Festival (KMF) have announced details of a virtual event that will take place from 15-17 May 2020. Hosted on the festival’s Facebook page, the event will include exclusive content from high profile speakers, competitions, music, and a running challenge. This year’s main KMF has been postponed 12 months and will now run from 21-23 May 2021. In the meantime, the KMF team is urging people to enjoy a taste of the festival at home instead. All of the virtual Keswick Mountain Festival programme will be available on the KMF Facebook page.
