Good ale, good conversation, and good entertainment; the recipe to a successful beer festival. Here in Cumbria we like to add our own ingredient – the stunning backdrop of the Lake District fells. Each year, numerous beer festivals are held around the county, bringing together locally and nationally produced ales, often in combination with live music and other fun events.

Here in the Lake District we are celebrating because at last the season of Spring has emerged from its battle with Winter to rise victorious, bringing with it a sense of rejuvenation and hope. With Herdwick lambs frolicking in the low lands and spring flowers blooming all around, it really is one of the best times of year to visit the national park. This year, we have even more reason to celebrate, as many of the spring time blooms have arrived a little earlier than usual.
