Santa Cruise and Masked Parade
Make all your Christmas dreams come true in Windermere and Bowness in 2010!
Join in the fun on Saturday 27th November 2010 with the Seeking Santa Cruise from Bowness pier and the Fifth Annual Winter Masked Parade through Windermere village and the Winter Lights Switch-ons in both communities. All this excitement will be topped off at the Grand Firework Finale in Queens Park!There will be entertainment, food, drink, mulled wine and fun and games throughout the day. And there’s plenty of opportunity to get in some Christmas treats in two of Lakeland ’s most scenic shopping villages.
The day starts (perhaps after coffee and cakes in one of our many glorious cafes!) when you board a Windermere Lake Cruises steamer from Bowness Piers bound for a special rendezvous with the man in the red suit – our sensational Seeking Santa Cruise.
On your return you can enjoy various (free!) entertainments in Bowness and Windermere, as well as doing some important Christmas shopping.
But make sure to get to Windermere railway station for 4.30pm, when Santa on his sleigh will lead the Winter Masked Parade through Windermere Switching-on the Winter Lights along the way to Queens Park for the Grand Firework Finale!
Cruise tickets and more information available soon. Please check this website regularly – we look forward to greeting you all this Christmas 2010 – let’s make it extra special for everyone!
