Kendal Calling Academy line-up announced
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 17 July 2014
The Kendal Calling festival and the University Of Cumbria have announced the return of the Kendal Calling Academy for its second year. Over the three days of the festival, the event will host talks and debates on various aspects of arts and culture.
