A sublime landscape that has inspired artists for centuries

Experience the wild but beautiful English Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2017; an invigorating setting in which to perform. The valleys are dotted with idyllic towns, such as Keswick, Ambleside and Grasmere, which have plenty to offer. When not exploring the endless fells and lakes, there are also the homes of Lakeland poets to visit and not to mention Beatrix Potter’s farmhouse home Hill Top, as well as plenty of exciting outdoor activities.
