Heritage, art and culture days out for groups
Discover our range of fantastic packages designed for groups and Flexible Independent Travel (FITs) to experience the best of Windermere, England’s longest lake in the heart of the Lake District UNESCO World Heritage site and historic market town Kendal.
Lakeland Arts runs Windermere Jetty Museum, Blackwell – the Arts & Crafts house and Abbot Hall. Our bespoke group tours can be tailored for different interests, lengths of visits and seasonal highlights.
Windermere Jetty Museum and Blackwell – the Arts & Crafts house are just 5 minutes’ apart so can easily be combined in a day itinerary. Abbot Hall in Kendal is open Thursday-Saturday and is a 30 minute drive from Windermere.
