A cultural weekend awaits those who step out from their Lake District holiday cottages in the Broughton-in-Furness region this winter.
From December 5th, the South Lakeland village is holding Weekend in the Country, an event that brings different performance artforms together to celebrate the picturesque surroundings.
Songwriter Nancy Elizabeth, whose first album was recorded in a Welsh farmhouse, will be performing live.
Meanwhile, a mini film festival with ten screenings has been planned to highlight different elements of the rural surroundings.
December 5th also brings a little extra pace to the region, as those staying in Lake District holiday cottages that weekend may discover.
The 21st annual Grizedale Stages Rally is due to take place that same weekend, with drivers racing a course through Grizedale Forest and on to Broughton Moor.
With around 100 cars expected to take part, the spectacle may add a lively element to a break in the picturesque area of the countryside.
