Visitor Information

Keswick really does have something for everyone, all year round! The town has a great range of outdoor shops, along with a wealth of independent stores. The local market is held in the centre of town every Thursday and Saturday. There are art galleries, museums, including the Pencil Museum, and many historic houses close by. Eating out in Keswick is an event, with its’ vast array of cafes, restaurants and warm and welcoming pubs.

You could spend your free-time in the parks, tennis courts, putting greens, pitch and put or spend a relaxing afternoon watching the cricket or bowling. If you’d prefer to sit back and let someone else do the driving then why not amble down to the lake and take a launch ride around it?

All this without leaving town, imagine what could be beyond! There are a great many outdoors things to do if you’re so inclined, in and beyond Keswick; cycling, fell-walking, running, climbing, boating, fishing, golf - the list goes on.

So, if you’re coming this way for the Keswick Jazz & Blues Festival then why not stay a little longer and partake of what else is on offer? We’re sure you won’t be disappointed.
