Whether you’ve been before or are attending for the first time, here are some essentials that will be of help when planning your visit.

If camping or caravanning, there is the Crosthwaite Camp run by volunteers for the duration of the Convention weeks in addition to others you can find on the Visit Keswick website.
An all-age family and youth orientated ‘pop-up’ camp site located in farmers’ fields on the edge of Keswick. The site is provided for the 3 weeks of the convention only and is self-catering.
It can accommodate tents, caravans and some small camper vans.
Amenities include toilets, showers, water points, phone charging, refuse, recycling and waste disposal.
The Convention is held on the former Pencil Factory Site and the adjoining Rawnsley Site; both are just a short walk into town from the camp. A friendly campsite with many return campers. Bookings start in mid February.
If you’re arriving on a Saturday the roads in and around Keswick will be busy, so please be patient!
Get acquainted with the town. There are two supermarkets, bakeries, take-aways and plenty of places to eat.
