Beautiful Bowness-on-Windermere is only a 20 minute rail journey from the mainline Oxenholme Lake District station!
Since its inception in 2013, the annual Festival had been held in Kendal, but for its tenth year, the core of the Festival took over multiple venues within Bowness-on-Windermere, on the east banks of Lake Windermere… and Bowness-on-Windermere is now the new home for LICAF!
