Grasmere Residents Afternoon in Dove Cottage

It was late afternoon, dark and cold, when William and Dorothy Wordsworth arrived at Dove Cottage for the first time in December 1799. On this wintry December afternoon we invite Grasmere residents to our annual open house as we celebrate the anniversary of that moment.

Drop into Dove Cottage on 19 December for festive drinks, sweet treats and carols from 3.30-5.30pm. We'll also have dressing up costumes and toys for children. Everyone who lives or works in Grasmere is welcome!

No need to book, just turn up! If you need to discuss any special dietary requirements, please email ZW5xdWlyaWVzIHwgd29yZHN3b3J0aCAhIG9yZyAhIHVr
