Lakes Alive
We are working with Kendal Arts International to bring a range of contemporary arts events to the National Park and Cumbria. These lead up to the 2012 Olympics.
What's happening?
There will be major events throughout this summer. You can embark on a different kind of adventure around the National Park and Cumbria. Be prepared to be captivated, amazed and inspired by artists from around the world working in this stunning landscape.

What are we doing?
We are:
- helping to organise the events and make things happen through building new partnerships
- providing advice and organisation of sustainable transport solutions
- developing our own skills in working with contemporary arts
- making links to what we are going to do elsewhere in the National Park
