What’s On In The Lakes This May?

Forget Easter weekend! If you want a nice quiet stroll in the Lake District, or if you’d prefer not to struggle through the crowds at the quaint, little weekly street market- early May is the perfect time to visit the Lake District.

And, what’s even better is that there’s loads to do too! So, here’s our run down of the best things to do in the Lakes this May:

The ‘Greatest Showman’ style circus is in town! This fantastic spectacle is well worth a visit to the Lakes in early May!

Celebrate the wonders (or is it wanders?) of walking by joining in with the annual Ulverston Walkfest. Guided walks and activities until the 6^th May.

The annual Keswick Jazz and Blues fest is fast growing in popularity; becoming well-known for its talented musicians and top line-up!

Two things us Cumbrians are good at! Plants and food – get your fill at Hutton-In-The-Forest this May.

Join thousands of other fundraisers at Cumbria’s biggest and brightest 5km event - in aid of Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw.

Showcasing fine art and crafts, from some of the regions most talented artisans along the Victorian Promenade at Grange-Over-Sands, and the Lakeside at Bowness-On-Windermere, in dates throughout Spring and Summer.

Promising another fun-filled weekend of events, music, great food and fine-fells, in Keswick- Do Not miss Keswick Mountain Festival this year!
