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.
