Springtime is a great time of year in the Lake District with the daffodils blooming, lambing season starting and warmer and longer days in which to enjoy all that favourite national park has to offer. We've picked out a few choice events taking place in the Lake District in Spring 2015 and put them into this neat infographic together with Wordsworth's ode to the daffodil. We hope this inspires you with some ideas for things to do if you visit this Spring.

On a dark, rainy evening in Windermere there are some lovely things to do. One of them, just down the road in Bowness, is to enjoy an evening at the beautiful and independent Royalty Cinema.

Built in 1926 and opened as the public hall it was originally designed to provide a cinema, theatre and a place to dance for the people of Windermere. It was renamed ‘The Royalty’ in 1930 and has remained as such ever since. In 1955, the building was converted specifically into a cinema, the dressing rooms as they were became the foyer and toilets, the 65 seat circle lounge followed later.
