Keswick Museum & Art Gallery.

When in Keswick why not pay a visit to the Keswick Museum & Art Gallery. It is close to Fitz Park and the Sports centre. The museum is full of local history and has lots of Industrial Art on display. They desperately need donations so when visiting please drop a couple of pounds into the pot.

Christmas is coming!

There is always lots going on in the Lake Disrict, but just up the road from Keswick is the Rheged centre, its a great day out for kids and adults.

Santa will be visiting the centre between 27.11.10 - 24.12.10 from 10-4 each day. The cost of visiting Santa is £5, so great value.

Grasmere Gingerbread.

What a discovery this place was, in the hussle and bussle of Grasmere one bank holiday weekend we were forced to go further into Grasmere village than normal. We saw this cute little house with queues out of the door and a gorgeous aroma. Obviously we had to investigate further!

To our surprise they were selling gingerbread, but not your average ginger bread shape, it is a secret recipe. For want of a better word it is a biscuit base with a crunchy crumble on top. You cannot eat a great deal at once but the gorgeous taste lingers for hours.


If your ever in Grasmere go check it out, but for those of you who do not venture to the Lake District try out there website

Membership!

We made the decision to join Keswick Tourism Association after many google searches on the web brought up http://www.keswick.org/ as a reference for walks, things going on, places to eat in and around Keswick. They have been very helpful with setting up the membership due to there longevity within the tourist sector in Keswick. They have some great links to walks in and around Keswick so please check out the link. http://www.keswick.org/walks.asp

Theatre Land

When ever we go up to Keswick we always go for a walk to Derwentwater and pass this gorgeous looking building. The same old comment is always made we must go and watch a play one day. As a gift to my parents we booked them into a show and Alan Bennett one I think, well they thoroughly enjoyed themselves and have subsequently visited on numerous occasions and have not seen a bad show yet. So if you get the chance and are super organised book yourself in for a show, there is always something to watch. I think at the moment I would go and watch 'Midsummer Nights Dream'.
