Be it Poetry, music, dancing, comedy, magic or an art piece you would like to tell us about, we would love to see your talent!
This event is for adults so that people can have a drink & if the odd swear slips out we are not offending young ears.

Socially distanced picnic
Lowther Castle-Cumbria have kindly allowed us to use their outer grounds for a socially distanced picnic. Refreshments & food is also available to buy from the grounds.
Why not join us, maybe even bring Teddy?
Lowther Castle & Gardens ask that there are no BBQ's, that we keep the grounds tidy and take away any rubbish with us. (which I'm sure we would all do anyway)
Lowther Castle Is a truly beautiful setting and we are thrilled to be allowed to have our little get together there. Lockdown has been long and hard with many of us shielding, it will be lovely to be able to breathe in the fresh air and say hello to one another at long last.
For anybody who would like to stay the whole day, Lowther castle has amazing grounds and a fabulous play area that you can pay to access. It is advised that people book on the website to avoid disappointment: www.LowtherCastle.org
