Whats on this week in the Lakes

The Lake District is a whirl of activity throughout the year. You can join Peter Rabbit for a giant egg hunt, take part in the world’s original marmalade awards or be transported back to Victorian times for a Dickensian festival, complete with mulled wine, roasting chestnuts and an original Helter Skelter.

From county shows to music festivals, gourmet markets to mountain races, there’s always something going on in the Lake District, whatever you fancy. All you need to do is show up.
