Rheged have shared details of their first Lakes Deer Fest – a new autumn festival celebrating the Red and Roe deer that have shaped the landscapes of Cumbria for centuries....

Enjoy live cookery and butchery demonstrations, free wild venison burgers, and enjoy a full day of talks, films, exhibitions and creative activities across the venue, inspired by the wildlife, culture and landscapes of the Lake District.
Discover the stories of deer in Cumbria through art, folklore, photography and film, and meet the people working to restore habitats, create woodlands and care for the landscapes and iconic wildlife we all enjoy today.
Whether you’re interested in local food, wildlife, creativity or simply looking for a memorable family day out, Lakes Deer Fest offers a warm and welcoming autumn experience.
On the day, we'll be hosting a number of talks and performances in Screen 2. These sessions are free, but we recommend booking in advance via the Rheged website.

Reading over scrolling?

It's all too easy to reach for the phone. But our children copy what they see us do, so 2026, the National Year of Reading, is the right time to pick up a book again.

If the habit has slipped, here's a gentle nudge: a short video with six classics you could finish in a week. 👇

And a reminder to all our parents: please try to hear your primary-aged children read each night. Even ten minutes makes an enormous difference, and it's a lovely thing to share.

Happy reading!
