Ring in the Roaring Twenties (Lakeland Style!) – Family New Year’s Adventure in the Lake District
Imagine this: Crisp Lake District air, kids rosy-cheeked from adventure, and cosy nights by a crackling fire. No, it’s not a scene from a period drama, it’s your family’s dream New Year’s Eve in the Lakes!
Swap the crowded parties for a roaring good time in a charming cottage. Picture yourselves:
-
Daytime: Embark on a quest to conquer Windermere on a scenic boat trip. Spy on majestic birds of prey at the World of Beatrix Potter (Peter Rabbit would approve!). For the thrill-seekers, tackle the Treetop Trek at Grizedale Forest, which is guaranteed to get those giggles going.
-
Evenings: After a day of fresh air and exploration, retreat to your cosy cottage. Huddle around a crackling fire, toasting marshmallows and sharing stories of the year’s adventures. For a touch of New Year’s magic, head to a local fireworks display (perfect for little ones dazzled by sparkling lights!).
-
New Year’s Eve: Forget the pricey dinners and babysitters! This year, celebrate in your home-away-from-home. Dust off those board games, crank up the music for a family disco, and create your own hilarious countdown (think silly voices and feather boas!). As the clock strikes midnight, raise a glass of hot chocolate (for the little ones) and fizz (for the grown-ups) to a fantastic new year together.
Bonus points for:
- Enacting a silly play inspired by the Lake District’s rich literary heritage (think wacky Wordsworth or a dramatic retelling of Beatrix Potter’s tales!).
- Building a giant indoor den – complete with fairy lights and blankets – for ultimate family snuggles.
- Researching some stargazing apps and heading out to a dark spot for a glimpse of the night sky. The Lake District is renowned for its minimal light pollution, making it a perfect spot for budding astronomers!
So ditch the ordinary this New Year, and create extraordinary memories in the heart of the Lake District. Book your family cottage adventure today!
