Marmot has unveiled a busy programme at this year’s Kendal Mountain Festival, ahead of its full return to the UK market next spring. Marmot will be at the festival for the first time since 2019, with a range of activations that showcase products and athletes.
Marmot will be present in the Kendal Mountain Festival Basecamp Village from 20-22 November. The brand will be bringing its innovative new Wraptor sleeping bag range to the festival, with a unique design that combines enhanced comfort, temperature control, and versatility. Available in the UK from early next year, the Wraptor rethinks the traditional sleeping bag with a dual-flap design that offers more control over comfort and temperature throughout the night. The Marmot team will be on hand at Kendal to demonstrate how the bag works, and visitors to the stand will also have the chance to play games and win prizes.
Marmot will team up with Kendal Mountain Festival regular Niall Grimes for two events on Saturday 21 November, with tickets available now. First up, at 6:30pm in The Exhale Yurt in the Basecamp Village, Niall will present ‘A Brief History of Climb’, offering his own take on the rich history of the sport, which he describes as “more twisted than a length of Sir Edmund Mallory’s hawser”. Those who attend can expect “proper peer-reviewed research, hard facts and leather”. Following the session, at 8:30pm in the same location, ‘Niall’s Disco Jam’ will be a curated, eclectic mix of music designed to get people dancing, with some Marmot goodies being handed out during the night.
Marmot athlete Steve McClure will be at this year’s Kendal Mountain Festival. Widely recognised as one of the best rock-climbers in the world, Steve has been working with the brand since 2009. During the festival, he will be popping along to join the Marmot team in the Basecamp Village, to meet and chat with people. Visit the stand to find out what time he will be around.
