Kendal’s Brewery Arts Centre has announced an Autumn and Winter 2010/2011 programme packed with all kinds of exciting events. It includes the world famous Kendal Mountain Festival which begins in September. Another early highlight will be The Brewery Theatre Company’s version of Two, written by Little Voice creator Jim Cartwright and directed by local luminary Judith Notley, which follows a pub landlord and landlady as they serve their regulars, with punters’ stories weaving together to form a moving production.

A show by the Tibetan Monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery comes to town on 17th September 2010, hailed by The Times as “a psychedelic whirl of chanting, dancing, drums, cymbals and procession” – complete with jiving skeletons!

Music-wise, there will be a broad range of acts that include Terry Callier (a collaborator with Curtis Mayfield and Mas-sive Attack), as well as the 80s hit band The Christians.

Kendal Photographic Society’s Centenary Exhibition will take place in October 2010. And, as usual, there’s also a number of high-profile comedians coming to town, including Ed Byrne of Mock The Week fame.

The Christmas season will see a production of Roald Dahl’s “Danny The Champion Of The World“, a children’s favourite that tells the story of Danny and his father’s fight to save their home from a powerful landowner.
