Christmas in Kendal and the Lake District

Local departure by coach, then on to our hotel in Kendal for four festive nights.

Mince pies, tea and coffee on arrival, then a chance to settle into your room, get to know the hotel and staff, or relax in the lounge. This evening, enjoy a pre-dinner Buck's Fizz reception followed by dinner and entertainment.

Today we visit the picturesque market town of Keswick. Overlooked by the dramatic Skiddaw range in the north and the expansive Derwentwater in the south the town enjoys an idyllic location in the north of the Lake District.

From there we also visit the pretty town of Grasmere.

If you choose to spend the day in the hotel instead, why not enjoy afternoon tea around 3pm with a game of Bingo to while away the afternoon. Later this evening enjoy dinner and fabulous live entertainment.

Merry Christmas! Enjoy breakfast and then perhaps open some presents or take a stroll in the hotel surroundings before enjoying a traditional Christmas Day Lunch with all the trimmings. This afternoon why not watch the King's speech, enjoy an afternoon tea and play prize bingo. Tonight there will be a Gala buffet with more entertainment.

After breakfast this morning we will visit pretty Bowness-on-Windermere on the shores of Lake Windermere and also call at bustling Ambleside at the head of the lake so you can admire the spectacular views.

There will be another afternoon tea this afternoon in the hotel, followed by a final dinner and evening of entertainment.

We depart the hotel this morning, filled with magical Christmas memories, and return home.
