Win a Kendal Mountain Festival package

We have teamed up with Kendal Mountain Festival, Stonecross Manor Hotel, and Dryrobe to offer Outdoor Swimmer readers an exclusive competition to win a fantastic package built around this year’s Festival!



Kendal Mountain Festival takes place between 20-23 November 2025, featuring a packed programme with more than 200 live sessions, including 300+ speakers, 150+ films, and 60+ activities. During the four-day Festival, there will also be an exciting array of swimming-themed events, activities, and headline speakers.

One of the events, not to be missed, will be the Outdoor Swimming Session – back by popular demand and hosted by our very own editor, Ella Foote!

Our readers are being given the chance to win a pair of Festival Day Passes, including tickets to the Outdoor Swimming Session.

In addition, Dryrobe® – presenters of this year’s Outdoor Swimming session – are offering a Dryrobe Advance Change Robe as part of this amazing prize package!

Overnight accommodation will be taken care of, courtesy of the Stonecross Manor Hotel. Part of the Everbright Group, the hotel is located on the outskirts of Kendal itself, with easy access to the Lakes, making it perfectly suited to guests with a love of the outdoors. 

Stonecross Manor is undergoing a programme of refurbishment, ensuring this popular hotel is more welcoming than ever. 

Even those who love the call of the wild, will relish its spa facilities, including a Finnish sauna, steam room, heated pool and jacuzzi with water jets as a therapeutic opportunity to relax and restore. 

Completing the line-up of prizes will be a 12-month subscription to Outdoor Swimmer magazine!
