A leisure centre with swimming pool is located nearby, and The Brewery Arts Centre is a well renowned venue for theatre, cinema, music and cultural events.



For many years Kendal was one of the most important wool towns in the country and the town was also a stopping off point for cattle drives from Scotland as well as a very important market, which still continue today on Wednesdays and Saturdays in the market place. The town is home to six primary schools, two well-regarded secondary schools, Kirkbie Kendal School and the Queen Katherine School and the high-performing Kendal College.
