Jetty Tails: family storytelling at Windermere Jetty Museum

Who’s rustling in the reeds, splashing by the shore or hiding beneath the surface of Windermere?

Sail into the Boathouse for Jetty Tails, playful family storytelling sessions filled with tales of the curious creatures that live in and around England’s largest natural lake.

Surrounded by historic boats, little ones and their grown-ups can settle in, listen closely and let their imaginations drift across the water as stories bring Windermere’s wildlife, characters and hidden lake life to life.

Perfect for families visiting Summer of Senses, Jetty Tails is a fun way to meet some of the creatures that inspire the exhibition and continue exploring the world through sight, sound, touch and imagination.

This drop-in activity runs on Tuesdays at 10.30am and 2pm between 18 July – 30 August 2026.
Included with museum admission.
