Ullswater Breakfast

Once a month the Ullswater Breakfast talk brings people together to hear an invited speaker. Previous speakers have ranged from mountain guides to environmental campaigners, local historians to yoga. The Ullswater Breakfast is the first Saturday of the month.

Pub Quizes, Craft Fairs and more…

Throughout the winter we hold community pub quizes, a Christmas craft fair and much more.
