Hello to all our fabulous Day at the Lake friends! Our next adventure is this coming bank holiday weekend. The Lost Carnival is an incredible theatrical circus adventure for families and it's just 20 miles from Rudyard in the Victorian splendour of Queen's Park in Crewe. We'd love to see lots of you there!

Through rain, wind, a few rays of sunshine and a double rainbow, the incredible tightrope walk of 1864 was recreated over Rudyard Lake this weekend, alongside the hardiest bunch of jugglers, musicians, storytellers and mermaids that you have ever seen. Thank you all so much for turning out despite the elements, and making a Day a the Lake pretty blooming special. And thank you to our wonderful photographers, they're tagged in the individual photos.
