Those of you staying in a cottage in the Lack District this month might like to head down to Brockhole, where you can join in a picnic in celebration of Beatrix Potter.
The Beatrix Potter Picnic in the Park is set to take place at the National Park Visitor Centre on September 12th, where holidaymakers will be able to take part in story telling, a themed quiz, badge making and a parade of Beatrix Potter toys.
According to Adam Thomas, National Park development director at Brockhole, the children's author often visited the spot when it was a private home.
He explained Ms Potter was a cousin of the Gaddum family, who owned the building, so she would have had many picnics there herself.
"So it seemed a fantastic idea to have a picnic and parade to celebrate the author's life and her Brockhole connections," Mr Thomas said.
And people visiting the Lake District may wish to visit the Sir John Barrow monument at Ulverston, which was recently reopened following renovation works.
