Those planning holidays in the Lake District this month may be able to head to a film festival aimed at fans of mountaineering and adventure sports.
Kendal Mountain Festival is being held from November 19th to 22nd, with attendees getting the chance to meet those involved in the productions, as well as enjoying premieres.
Event director Clive Allen told the Daily Telegraph that the festival is the "social event of the year" for those with an interest in mountains.
And commenting on the high-profile nature of many of those who will be appearing, he said: "There are not many sports where you can guarantee you will be rubbing shoulders at the bar with the top performers."
The Lake District recently received praise from Lonely Planet, with the travel guide company listing it in the Best in Travel 2010 publication – which features the best places in the world to visit.
