Reflecting inspiration

Lakeland Arts is a major player in the north of England’s arts, culture and heritage scene. We’ve built a great reputation for our historic buildings, museums, gallery collections and rolling arts programmes.

For us, the Lake District is a place of daily inspiration. We reflect this far and wide, as well as working tirelessly to protect and project the area’s distinctive cultural legacy. Our rich collections and shared experiences help us keep the stories of this amazing region alive and seed the artists and makers of tomorrow.

We represent the lives of the people of Cumbria past and present. They inform and steer our stimulating, award-winning attractions: Abbot Hall; Blackwell; Lakeland Museum and Windermere Jetty Museum. We connect with our visitors on land and on water.

Together we learn and we grow, exploring the past to make a better future. Rooted in our landscape and history, we reach out to the world, a living memory reflecting the depth of Lakeland life.
