About

Function Rooms | 10 Capacity | 2,500

Host your next event at the magnificent Pencil Factory in the heart of the Lake District. Once the home of Cumberland Pencils, now the home of Keswick Ministries and the historical Keswick Convention.

Built in 1916 by the Cumberland Pencil Company, the Pencil Factory is an iconic building and local landmark of Keswick. Preserving the original building features, the restored venue provides a spacious and modern setting with industrial ambience and stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

The Pencil Factory has a range of rooms offering flexibility for venue layout and capacity. There is also the Packing Hall, a separate warehouse venue on site.

Packages can be tailored to your requirements including catering space, car parking, furniture, visitor facilities, and office space.

The outside area is perfect for guests to meet and relax with Keswick town centre and Derwentwater within walking distance.

To find out more about hosting your conference or event at the Pencil Factory, please contact the Keswick Ministries facilities team.
