Events

The Lake District is packed with exciting events all year round – from family fun days to marathons and the famous Great North Swim. We’ve highlighted events close to our main piers at Bowness, Waterhead, and Lakeside to help you plan your visit and make the most of your time on Windermere.

And the best part? You can hop on one of our scenic Windermere Lake Cruises to travel between events, enjoy stunning views, and make your day out even more memorable.
