The annual Wordsworth Winter School is a residential course of lectures, seminars, poetry readings, walks and excursions organised by the Wordsworth Trust for the general reader and for the specialist.
All rooms have private bathrooms.
Double, twin or single rooms are available. Poetry reading has always been an important part of the Winter School, and as the final event each evening Jonathan Wordsworth will read selections from the poetry to be discussed the following day. Walks and excursions to places of interest, connected with the poetry, feature every afternoon and, for those who like pre-breakfast exercise, each day begins with an optional early morning walk round Grasmere Lake. On all walks organised by the Wordsworth Winter School you will be required to adhere to the guidelines laid down for mountain safety. The Winter School is directed by Jonathan Wordsworth.
