Illuminate Festival of Ideas - Kirkby Lonsdale 8-23 February 2025

Something to look forward to in 2025 – Kirkby Lonsdale’s own Festival of Ideas. Illuminate will take place from Saturday 8th to Sunday 23rd February and include theatre, music, film and speaker events designed to spark ideas. There will be fun and activities for all ages.

Illuminate is designed to bring people together, sparking fresh conversations about what it means to be human in a world increasingly dominated by technology and how we can reframe our relationship with the spaces and places around us amid ecological and geopolitical change.

We hope to challenge, provoke and entertain audiences with a variety of events for all ages. Please join us!
