The Procession
JOIN US
Watch or take part
As one of the biggest events in the Kendal calendar, Torchlight is an event made by the whole community. Organised by volunteers who are working to keep the tradition alive, it relies on the local community to join in by entering the procession. Anyone can enter the procession whether you are a school, community group, business or family. Get involved…create costumes, music and dance to help light the streets with colour and celebration.
The procession will be motor vehicle free. Entries can take the form of walking, dancing, bicycles, stilts, wheelbarrows, mobility scooters, shopping trollies. We challenge you to use your imagination to bring the procession to life!

Torchlight really is a community event. Since it’s beginnings in 1970, the majority of floats have been created by local businesses, community groups and organisations. Today is no different. Rather than buying in lots of creations, Kendal Torchlight celebrates our local talent and creativity.
Every year, entrants have competed to win coveted trophies in a series of categories. This year, as we celebrate 56 years of Kendal Torchlight, we are inviting everyone to join together and help make this one of the best processions yet.
Entries are invited from anyone who would like to take part.
