Rainy Day Picks This Weekend
11–12 July Near Bowness-on-Windermere
Not every listing gets a golden ticket
We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.
Happening Saturday 11 July to Sunday 12 July.
Picked for Bowness-on-Windermere, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

Monthly family friendly services rotating between St John the Baptist Tunstall, St Peter's Leck and St Wilfrid's Melling. Either a short 30-minute service or a Messy Church with crafts both finishing with refreshments. Please see The Bell for more information or contact Rev Jane Lee
