Kendal Calling can grow

Kendal Calling  has been given the go-ahead to grow its capacity to 35,000 over the next three years following the withdrawal of objections ahead of an Eden Council licensing committee meeting which was due to be held today. A spokesman for Eden Council confirmed late yesterday that an agreement had now been reached between the organisers and the local authority's environmental health department which had resulted in a slight amendment to some of the conditions. The festival will start at 5pm on Thursday, 30th July, as opposed to noon, and will continue until Sunday, 2nd August. The capacity can rise from the current 20,000 capacity by 5,000 each following three years to 35,000.
