Seasonal Lake District Xmas Walking and Social Weekend 2026

LAST FEW PLACES

Always one of our most popular weekends of the year our 2026 Seasonal Celebration Break in the Lake District can't fail to be a great success.

This unbelievably lovely Grade II listed former mansion gets rave reviews from everyone who stays there. Close to Coniston and Esthwaite and in the heart of Beatrix Potter country there are loads of walks available and for cyclists the delights of Grizedale Forest as well.

Friday arrival at our accommodation is from anytime after 5pm but we will lay on a bonus walk for those who can arrive in the area for likely 10:30am to ensure we make the best of the day.

We shall be rustling up a delicious hot meal for Friday night with vegetarian option so no need to eat on the way and although we'll serve up about 8pm, there'll be plenty kept for those arriving a little later. If you require a bevy or three don't forget to bring this with you as it may be a long way to the shops.

Help yourself breakfasts and lunch packups are provided as is hot food Friday and Saturdays night but feel free to bring desserts, cakes and other goodies to share as well as your own drinks. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Saturday and Sunday routes and options will be discussed with everyone on arrival to ensure we are meeting overall expectations but there is loads to choose from.

This is intended to be a sociable event all weekend so expect a bit of party music both nights and if you play a musical instrument or can provide some other entertainment for us feel free.

Accommodation is single sex bunk rooms of a variety of sizes with full bedding provided but not towels.

Those booking now need to pay in full being £144 per person to which must be added Meetup booking fees. You can also book directly without booking fees using BACS but you must let us know so that we can add you to the event manually.

Those who previously paid a deposit should now pay the balance of £99 per person via BACS which was due on the 18th September 2026 and is now therefore overdue

If you have to cancel with more than 28 clear days notice the full value of payments will be refunded less an amount of £45 equivalent to the value of the previous non-refundable deposit. If you paid a lower deposit initially as an early booker then this will be the amount non-refundable. This deposit value will always be non-refundable unless the event is cancelled or postponed. No refunds will be provided to those cancelling with less than 28 clear days notice. ("clear" means does not include event start date or cancellation date!

It would not be possible to provide the range of events we do or to cover the cost of insurance and now increasing Meetup fees if we were not a subscription based group which means paying an annual subscription of £10pa or a Life Membership subscription in which case further payments are not necessary.

If attending our weekends away as an unpaid or lapsed subscriber or as a non member guest you are required to pay an additional £10 when balances become due. No exceptions!
