More than 400,000 people from all over the UK and beyond visit the Brewery every year. One of the leading and largest arts centres in the UK, the Brewery offers a diverse and innovative mix of performances, exhibitions and events across all art forms, as well as hosting international festivals such as Kendal Mountain Festivals and the Women's Arts International Festival, a groundbreaking and unique showcase of the best women's work. Pioneering cultural tourism in Cumbria, the Brewery is a unique venue with an increasingly international reputation. The Brewery is also renowned for its extensive education programmes for adults and children alike. We now have big plans to redevelop the site and transform the centre into a cutting edge facility whilst retaining its historic and unique character. With the arrival of a University of Cumbria, the opportunitity to lead the way in cultural and arts education at degree level and beyond is an exciting possibility. We need your help to achieve this. Voted the ninth best place in Britain in a recent national survey, the Brewery has outgrown its facilitites and desperately needs more space to contiune to develop its world-class programme for local people and visitors alike.
