A TRAIL through the region's greatest boozers has been launched.
Kendal Calling festival has revealed its ‘Kendale Trail’ across the region.
The trail is an interactive route through local pubs with a chance to win prizes.
The route winds its way around those drinking spots which will be serving the festival’s own Kendale IPA ale.
Ten pence of every pint sold will be donated to the Guide Dogs for the Blind charity.

Ranging from The Old Post Office Ale House in Castleton all the way up to Kendal staple The New Union, or across to the Royal Oak in Wigan, it’s a pub-lovers dream.
Not only a great way to spend a weekend, the Kendale Trail gives customers who buy six pints of Kendale the chance to win the ultimate music and ale fan experience at Kendal Calling, with a prize consisting of four weekend tickets, a £200 bar tab and a bar at the festival renamed after them.
All Kendale Trailers have to do is pick up a limited edition Kendale beer mat from one of the Kendale pubs, collect six Kendal stamps from selected pubs and send a photo of your fully stamped beer mat to Kendal Calling Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or via email at hello@kendalcalling.com by June 30.
There are six unique Kendale stamps available from certain pubs on the trail, named after six artists performing at the festival - Supergrass, Stereophonics, Foals, Primal Scream, Blossoms and Dizzee Rascal.
Kendale Trailers can find out where to get their stamps using Kendal Calling’s very own pub finder, entering their postcode to see where their nearest Kendale pub is - kendalcalling.co.uk/kendaletrail
Each pub with a Kendale stamp will provide one stamp per pint of Kendale purchased. Kendale beer mats are available from all Kendale pubs, customers need to simply ask for one at the bar.
Pub boss at the No. 10 Ale House, Adam Morland, is thrilled to be a part of the Kendale Trail, having had his own life-changing Kendal Calling experience three years ago:
“The team at No. 10 Ale House is so excited to be part of Kendal Calling’s Kendale Trail, to celebrate 15 years of the festival!" he said.
"Kendal Calling has a special place in mine and my wife's heart, as we got engaged there at our first festival together!”
The well-hopped Kendale has a crisp, dry finish and was crafted by multi-award winning brewers Lancaster Brewery for Kendal’s award-winning real ale festival which takes place onsite at the festival every year, supported by CAMRA and hand-picked by our very own ale connoisseurs.
