Christmas And New Year Breaks
Are you thinking about doing something different this Christmas and New Year?
Then imagine opening your Christmas presents overlooking the glassy stillness of Lake Windermere, whilst listening to the crackle of your log burning fire or carol singing in the caves overlooking Rydal Water. If you have children, how about a Santa Cruise on Ullswater or a magical journey on the Santa Express with the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway?
There are so many interesting and exciting things to do in the Lake District this Christmas and New Year you will be spoilt for choice.
Entertainment
The Theatre by the Lake in Keswick (http://www.theatrebythelake.co.uk/) and The Brewery Theatre in Kendal (http://breweryarts.co.uk/) both offer family entertainment over the Christmas and New Year period. There are also a myriad of pantomimes around the area for you to enjoy.
Many hotels have party nights and discos for those wanting a more adult entertainment.
Shopping
Most towns have late night shopping on Thursdays and there are Christmas markets too, with a sprinkling of Christmas lights to add to the festive feel.
Eating Out
Cumbria offers everything from Michelin starred restaurants to award winning fish and chip shops, and everything in between. Local specialities include Cumbria Fell Bred lamb and the famous Sticky Toffee pudding, but of course the traditional Christmas Dinner will also be available and most large hotels, pubs and restaurants are now taking Christmas Lunch bookings.
Outdoors
There are many safe walking routes and if you are lucky with the weather you maybe enjoy the beauty of a frost laden woods, icy lakes and snowy mountains. For those who feel brave enough, there is the traditional annual dip in Lake Windermere on New Year’s Day.
