The Lake District is a whirl of activity throughout the year, its stunning landscapes and charming towns and villages providing the perfect location for a wide variety of events.
Many of these make the most of their location, celebrating the great outdoors in all its glory. Experience live music, food and drink, and plenty of outdoor sporting activities at one of our local Mountain Festivals; or unleash your adventurous side a trail or cycling event.
Live music more your thing? There’s plenty to enjoy across the Lake District, with festivals and concerts taking place on a regular basis – and some stunning venues in which to enjoy them. Discover our local musicians, or dance along to an international artist. They all come to perform here in the Lake District.
Talking of stunning venues, how about catching a theatre performance right next to Derwentwater; or heading to a seasonal fair in the grounds of a castle?
We’ve also got farmers markets, Christmas celebrations, seasonal events and so much more to discover. That’s not to mention the art exhibitions, foodie festivals and so much more going on throughout the year. There’s always something going on in the Lake District, whatever you fancy. All you need to do is show up.
