With just 2 weeks to go until Kendal Calling, it has been announced that the festival will feature an attempt to set the record for the world’s largest Kendal mint cake.
On the Sunday of the festival, which takes place in Lowther Deer Park, Kendal ‘Ye Olde Sweet Shoppe’ will play host to this record setting mint cake, record setting as it is a feat that has never been attempted before!
Mixed and baked over the weekend, the mint cake will be specially created for Kendal Calling by mint cake manufacturers, Wilsons confectioners.
The mint cake, set to measure 4m in length and nearly 4m thick, will be made using the exact same methods as a hundred years ago with sugar stirred by hand in copper pans.
Kendal is famous the world over for its mint cake so by setting this record, Kendal Calling will be supporting local culture whilst also attempting to gain a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
It has also been announced that Electropop act Fenech Soler will headline the Calling Out stage on Sunday 31st July.
Other acts set to play the festival include Blondie, Chase & Status and The Cribs on the main stage, while Kitty, Daisy & Lewis will be performing on the Get it Loud in Libraries stage.
Kendal Calling will also play host to possibly the world’s first neo rave Balkan Gypsy band, Slamboree who will be gracing stages across the site over the festival weekend.
Kendal Calling will take place from Friday 29th – Sunday 31st July with the Saturday of the festival featuring a fancy dress theme will festival goers are invited to dress up to the theme of ‘Beasts and Machines’.
