Fun & Frolics at festivals
Throughout the Summer months we are surrounded by village events and mini festivals for families, couples or people travelling alone and looking to make new acquaintances along the way. Our lovely family-run park makes a great base for exploring these events, whether they’re in the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland or The Lake District.
Countryside Festival Bentham
The Countryside Festival is a local one day event that runs from 12pm – 5pm on Saturday 24th June at Bentham Primary School, to fundraise for the local school. The afternoon will be fun packed with live music, dance performances, BBQ, local craft stalls, face painting, bouncy castles and much more! Entry is free and it’s walking distance from our park!

Festival Bowland
Throughout the Summer the Forest of Bowland AONB run ‘Festival Bowland‘, a summer long festival of walks, art exhibitions and children’s activities, to name but a few.
The Yorkshire Dales national part also has a great events calendar, with many events and festivals listed on there. The Lake District National Park website is a great place to find out more about events and activities in the lakes, which is easily acessible from our park too.
