Jennifer Cormack, Sales & Marketing Director at Windermere Lake Cruises, says: “We know the cost-of-living crisis is affecting everyone so we hope people will make the most of the Local Residents’ Discount Cards.

“They are a great way to rediscover all that the wonderful Lake District has to offer and it costs nothing at all to sign up for one.”

Holders of the cards continue to qualify for a 20% discount from May 1st next year right up to the beginning of October 2024.
