SUPFEST 2024 Returning For 24 – 27 May, 2024

SUPFEST is a unique stand-up paddle boarding festival taking place in the Lake District, UK. The event has been running since 2016 with a growing community of paddlers attending every year, with over 500 participants in 2023. Their long-term goal is to build on our success and create the best environmentally sustainable family SUP festival in the UK.

The festival takes place over 3 days and ticket price includes live music, DJ’s, keynote speakers and entertainment as well as SUP competitions, races, and fun for all age groups. The key emphasis of SUPFEST is inclusivity and fun, so don’t expect intense competition, whilst winner will get medals. Prizes are allocated by race number raffle not performance. Camping is also available onsite.

On site at the festival, we have catering stands as well as SUP hire, lessons, sessions, classes, and workshops both on and off the water. 

Location: Drybeck Farm, Armathwaite, Carlisle, Cumbria CA4 9ST

SUPFEST was the joint brainchild of John Wilson (Lake District Paddle Boarding) Simon Palmer (SUP Adventures) and Sean Etherden (Keswick Mountain Festival). The idea was to create a festival for the growing community of Stand Up Paddleboarders with the key focus being on lifestyle, family and the environment, with a non-commercial feel. We are now in our 6 year and looking forward to another amazing event.
