Kick off August with our exciting summer lineup!
Summer Sundays are back – our free live music festival set in our vibrant garden. We kick things off with the explosive sounds of Dilutey Juice, followed by Cumbrian party band The Seals. Then it’s Meetwood Flac with their fresh take on Fleetwood Mac classics. Wrapping things up are Vacant Weekend, bringing funk-inspired, groove-heavy indie rock to close Summer Sundays in style.
Pair the music with tasty festival food – there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We’re also teaming up with Lakes Brew Co. for exclusive pours, including our Festival Ale.
Our cinema’s buzzing too, with Cinema Rewinds featuring The Windermere Children, Pretty Woman, Barry Lyndon, Amadeus and Sense And Sensibility. Family fun is sorted with The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Smurfs, and The Bad Guys 2.
