• “Wainwright’s Yard is one of the best places to shop in town as it has attracted the town's best retailers. As someone who has fully furnished an apartment in Kendal over the past couple of months, I have found the local shops to be extremely useful - whether it be for a dining table from La Maison or televisions and a sound system from Hadwins - not to mention the fabulous array of goodies to be found at Armstrong Ward and Gear.”
