Those embarking on holidays in the Lake District later this month will have the opportunity to take part in an afternoon of madness and eccentricity as The Cabaret of Dr Caligari hits the national park.
The street art show, being produced by Artizani, will run between 14:00 and 17:00 BST on the week starting Monday August 24th and offers its audience three hours of cabaret entertainment.
Describing the performance, an advert for the free event on Lakes Alive states: "Oddities, eccentrics and acrobats are conjured out of thin air to entertain, but once out of the box they refuse to disappear."
Dr Caligari will be at Broadgate Meadow, Grasmere on the Monday, with the tour heading off to Ford Park in Ulverston, Rothay Park in Ambleside, Bitts Park in Carlisle and Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre near Windermere respectively on the other days of the week.
Another free event available to those staying in holiday homes in the Lake District this month is the tenth birthday celebrations of Theatre by the Lake in Keswick, which will take place on August 19th at 10:30 BST.
