Founded in 2007, Keswick Mountain Festival (KMF) is one of the UK’s best-loved and most popular outdoor events. From the Festival Village in Crow Park on the shore of Derwentwater, KMF kicks off the summer with a mix of outdoor sports and activities, live music, speakers, food and drink, and exhibitors and retail. Last year, Thule sponsored the triathlons at KMF, and will now have a much bigger presence in the Festival Village and across other aspects of the event. The brand is working closely with the festival organisers to develop a range of activations for visitors, both onsite and in the surrounding area.

Dave McCartney, marketing manager, Thule UK & Ireland, comments: “At Thule, we believe in making it easier to enjoy the active life - whether you’re heading into the outdoors or travelling the world with family and friends. Keswick Mountain Festival embodies everything Thule stands for - a shared passion for the outdoors, meaningful adventure, and time spent in inspiring places. As headline sponsor, we’re proud to support a festival that brings the outdoor community together and encourages more people to get outside and explore.”

Jamie Simpson, marketing director of Keswick Mountain Festival, adds: “We’re delighted to welcome Thule as headline sponsor of Keswick Mountain Festival. The brand is closely aligned with our values and aspirations – it’s a great fit. We really enjoyed working with Thule last year and we’re now developing some very exciting plans for 2026 with the team there, which are going to add a lot to the visitor experience.”
