Westmorland Hall, located in Kendal, Cumbria, has a history rooted in the region's agricultural past. Originally built in the 19th century as a market hall for livestock trading, it underwent significant renovations in the late 20th century to transform it into a multi-purpose arts and community venue. The building retains many of its original architectural features, including exposed brickwork and high ceilings, creating a unique atmosphere for performances.

Today, Westmorland Hall functions as a key cultural hub for Kendal and the surrounding areas, hosting a diverse programme of events including concerts, theatre productions, exhibitions and community gatherings. It is managed by South Lakeland District Council and serves as an important space for both local and visiting artists to present their work.
