Windermere Jetty Museum to offer discounts for families during the summer holidays if they choose to travel by bus.

  • One child gets free museum entry with paying adult and a valid bus ticket.
  • Tickets with museum promotion on local Stagecoach services are valid until 1 September.
  • Promotional tickets create inspiring ideas for family day out in the lakes.
  • WRECKED! experience searches for sunken ships, hidden treasure, and mysterious secrets under the surface of Windermere.

As schools break up for the summer, and many of us take to the roads to get to the Lake District, the Museum is on a mission to get us all to think about the footprint we leave on the lake and beautiful local landscape.

Passengers will find promotional Windermere Jetty Museum tickets on Stagecoach bus services in Kendal & the Lakes and Lancaster for one child entry to the Museum with every adult until the end of the summer holidays (1 September).

Windermere Jetty Museum is an award-winning visitor attraction in the heart of the Lake District dedicated to sharing the stories of the boats, people and rich history of Windermere.

In its brand-new immersive and interactive experience, visitors will take a closer look beneath the surface of the lake to uncover the hidden treasure and sunken secrets of some of Windermere’s most intriguing shipwrecks.

WRECKED! dives deep into the fascinating boat collection at the Museum and asks visitors to join a team of investigators to help reveal a dark and secret message that will save us all!

Between Monday 19 July and Sunday 25 July, local bus users with a valid central lakes dayrider, explorer, or North-West megarider ticket will also be able to claim the special offer.

Anna Saczek, Head of Visitor Experience, said:

“We are delighted to offer families savings during the school holidays if they travel by bus.

“Through our partnership with Stagecoach, we hope to inspire families with a unique day out in the Lakes and also reward visitors who choose greener ways to travel.”
