Show your appreciation to the Grandparent’s – National Grandparents Day on 2nd October 2011

No matter what you call your grandparents; whether it’s Grandma, Grandpa, Gran, Grandpops, Nanna or Ninny, Sunday 2nd October is the day to show them you truly care (though we hope you do that 365 days of the year anyway!) as it’s National Grandparent’s Day and Lake District Hotels has a few gift suggestions to help make life easier.

There are a few things grandparents love such as cups of tea and biscuits, chocolates, cakes, audio books and framed photos of their beloved grandchildren, but this year go the extra mile and treat them to a special day out in the Lake District.

Afternoon tea in the lake district

Lake District Hotels offer traditional, good quality hospitality that our grandparent generation really appreciate and that is why they would certainly love to be taken out for Sunday lunch or afternoon cream tea in a cosy and relaxing Lake District setting at one of our hotels.

Find out more about the treatments available at The Falls Spa here.

The Inn on the Lake played host to ladies from Lancashire and the Lake District at a luncheon attended by over 90 guests who enjoyed a three course lunch and fashion show.

The event was organized in conjunction with Hilary Cookson from the renowned dress shop Maureen Cookson at Whalley in Lancashire and Lancashire Magazine. Whilst there were a number of ladies from Lancashire and beyond, there were also tables of local ladies from Cockermouth, Patterdale and Penrith.

The fashion show was presented by Hilary Cookson who owns the fashion house. She entertained guests during the fashion show by recanted humorous tales of fashion faux pas and highlighting the new range of clothing for the autumn which this year, included a mix of practical and glamorous outfits for a range of ages and sizes.

General Manager Gary Wilson said “This is the third year our hotel group has worked with Maureen Cookson – and it is the second year here at the Inn on the Lake – it was good to see new faces from outside the Lake District experience what we have to offer.”

Head Chef Frazer Soutar was congratulated on his menu by many of the guests who enjoyed the delicious Crab and Lobster Tian starter followed by local lamb. But the star of the menu was the Iced Raspberry and Elderberry Parfait with Mascapone Ice cream that stole the show.

Gazebo wedding cake gets showcased at the Designer Wedding Show

The Designer Wedding Show took place last Sunday to showcase a range of wedding suppliers from the most well known to the most unique products and services available in Cumbria for weddings.

The show, claiming to be one of the largest and most prestigious wedding fayre’s in Cumbria, was a great place for Lake District Hotels to show off our beautiful wedding venues to the most discerning of wedding planners. Bev, our wedding organiser at the Inn on the Lake, went along to set up the stand and meet lots of interested show goers who were particularly intrigued by this fabulous wedding cake, supplied by local cake maker and sugarcrafter Margaret Burnham.
