Families planning holidays in the Lake District in the coming weeks will be able to experience a major annual music event.
Lake District Summer Music (LDSM) gets underway on July 31st, running until August 15th and offering both an international festival and a summer school.
It is described as one of the top classical music festivals in the UK, having been established in 1984.
Family-friendly events are a major feature, as well as orchestral concerts and performances by musicians of various ages.
Artists from around 20 different countries participate each year and pre-concert talks will be given by some of the performers.
Meanwhile, research by Direct Line has revealed what games families travelling to holidays in the Lake District may be playing on the way.
According to a survey by the insurer, ‘I-Spy’ is the most popular car activity, with 58 per cent of respondents playing it while on a long journey.
