Head Chef is a radio superstar

Head Chef Mike Ward first appeared on BBC Radio Cumbria to talk about the monthly Pudding Evenings held at the Lodore Falls Hotel. If you are a pudding lover, the second Thursday every month is just the night to have dinner in the restaurant – there are seven delicious puddings to choose from! 

Following his first appearance Mike built up quite a listener fan base and has a monthly pudding slot on the morning show. His choice of pudding is interesting and he always picks one that his audience will be able to make at home.

Spread a little magic this February with Keswick’s Winter Week of Light …

Keswick Tourism Association is pleased to announce Keswick’s Winter Week of Light- two magical FREE family events taking place in February half term. If you are looking for inspiration to entertain your family and friends during the holidays then Keswick is the place for you.

The first event taking place is Keswick’s Lantern Parade organised by the Heritage Lottery funded Derwentwater Foreshore Project and will take place on Sunday 20th February. The parade leaves at 7.00pm and will take place through the streets of Keswick finally finishing on the Derwentwater Foreshore, where a very special celebration of fire and music will be performed.

Naomi Hewitt, Derwentwater Foreshore Project Co-ordinator says;

“This event is perfect for people looking for a special activity during the holiday week. As part of the run up to the parade we are running a series of lantern making workshops for schools and the public- making and bringing your own lantern is a great way of getting involved. Local schools and the Keswick Community Choir have also been writing and performing new music for the event with the help of Russell Burbush from New Arts North.”

Public lantern making workshops will take place on the weekends running up to the Lantern Parade and take place at Keswick Museum and the Square Orange Café-Bar. Find out more by visiting www.foreshoreproject.com or by phoning 017687 74649.

We are also very pleased to announce that the first Lakes Alive event of 2011 will take place in Keswick on Wednesday 23rd February at 6pm from outside Moot Hall. Lakes Alive in association with Theatre by the Lake presents Herbert’s Dream from Compagnie des Quidams & Inko’Nito (France). As the stars twinkle above Keswick, five mysterious white figures will beckon you to join them for an evening procession in search of light. As they weave their path through the streets they transform into majestic, ethereal characters. Follow them on a journey to their destination where they carry out a beautiful and bewitching finale to music, a symbolic gesture of optimism and hope.

Linda Furniss, Tourism Officer for Keswick Tourism Association, says:

“Keswick’s Winter Week of Light will be a fantastic week of entertainment for both visitors and residents and is guaranteed to brighten up these long dark winter nights.”

“It is great to be working in partnership with the Derwentwater Foreshore Project, Lakes Alive and the Theatre by the Lake to bring together two great events in one great location.”

Don’t forget there’s also a whole host of events happening over half term at Theatre by the Lake in Keswick.  Have a look at www.theatrebythelake.com for drama, dance, music and comedy suitable for all ages and interests.

Fantastic family fun at the Red Riding Hood panto …

The ballroom at the George Hotel in Penrith was the stage for the first Christmas panto in over 100 years on (Thursday 23rd December), when Red Riding Hood was performed to almost 100 guests.  Sitting on cushions at the front of the stage were a host of young children who screamed at the wolf and laughed at Granny Hood.

Grannies, Granddads and young Mums all gave a glowing festive verdict on the performance, suggesting it was the best panto they had seen this season. Mrs Powley from Penrith brought their granddaughter and her friend, she said “It was simply fantastic. Just the right length for little ones and it was great to see the actors interacting with the audience so well. It was miles better than the one we saw in Carlisle.”

The idea of the pantomime came from General Manager Justin Wales who felt something magical was needed for little ones to celebrate the arrival of Christmas. “Mums must have taken chance to prepare for Christmas Day because there were so many grandparents at the performance. They all wanted to know if we are going to do another next year and that is a definite yes. The children all received gifts of a balloon and a decorated gingerbread man as a parting gift from the George Hotel.

Extra Infomation:
The panto performance allowed the ballroom to relive its day as a theatrical location and heart of community life in Penrith. In the 1860’s the Assembly Rooms (now the ballroom) was at the core of community activity -  it played host to famous theatricals  that included ‘Signor Boscow from the London Theatre.’ Since this main function room has become home to local groups  and playing host to entertainment celebrities like Lenny Henry and Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer, Paula Yates and Jooles Holland.

Sugar Plum Fairy artwork on display at Lodore Falls Hotel …

There is a special piece of art on display at the Lodore Falls Hotel – launched at the Cumbria Life Nutcracker luncheon today (Thursday 2nd December 2010).

Head Chef Mike Ward is renowned for his butter sculpture work and every year he produces a new creation. This year, in keeping with the Nutcracker theme he has created a Sugar Plum Fairy!!

Over 30 hours of loving care and attention have been put in to this piece of art. The delicate ballerina has a pale pink skirt which was created using the edible food glitter. To achieve this look, Mike had to carefully mask the rest of the sculpture to ensure only the skirt and shoes turned pink.

During the Cumbria Life luncheon Mike talked about each dish he created and at the end he gave everyone vodka jellies – hand made in the kitchen that day. During coffee he also showed off his Sugar Plum fairy – and all were amazed to see how delicate she was when he walked away and her wings fluttered as he went by!

The fairy is on display at the hotel and will take pride of place on the New Years Eve gala dinner. This popular event still has a few places left – for more info contact the Lodore Falls Hotel on 017687 77285
