What's On

Whatever time of year you’ve visiting, there’s always something going on in the Lake District, Cumbria - and our ‘What’s On’ blog posts are here to help you plan your perfect events calendar!

From country fairs and agricultural shows to festivals and art exhibitions, endurance events to traditional sports, theatre to live music, there’s plenty to keep you entertained.
