Grasmere Sports takes place on Bank Holiday Sunday, which means that Sunday, 30 August 2015 is the day to see this great Lakeland event in 2015. For more information you can visit the Grasmere Sports 2015 website.

Guest staying at Brockstone often walk down to the sports field and enjoy a day out. Here’s a photo of some of those taking part in the “Guides Race” as the race up the nearby fell or hill is called. There is track racing for children, dog shows , Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling and lots of stalls, food and beer on offer.

Our cottage is fully booked this year for Grasmere Sports week, but it is available the following week, from September 5th. We’ve reduced the rate by £200 for last minute bookings. If you can come for the week from 5th September, you’ll be able to enjoy the Grasmere Guzzler Beer Festival at Tweedies and also the Westmorland County Show which takes place on Thursday 10 September. Here’s a photo I took at one of the past Westmorland shows. It’s a great day out- a whole day of “Countryfile” right on our doorstep on the showground, Crooklands, Kendal.
