As the colder winter month’s draw in, you may be feeling the effects. But, there are even more reasons to visit Lancashire and the surrounding countryside at this time of year. The area provides an endless supply of authentic festive celebrations and events; from a traditional pantomime, to an Orchestra or visiting Santa, and our caravan park in Lancashire could be the perfect place for you to stay while you venture out to these exciting events.
Kendal is only a short journey from our caravan park in Lancashire, and has more than a handful of events on the platter this season. We have picked a few for you, which would be a great way to start your festive celebrations with a sparkle.
