    We cover curriculum based activities such as the water cycle and important water safety messages. Classroom sessions last half a day and the online workshops run for around 45 minutes (we’ll contact you before and send a video to introduce the session and after to answer any questions from the children and provide advice how to find additional resources). Our online and classroom sessions are completely FREE.

  • For all schools in West Cumbria (Allerdale and Copeland), please book your sessions with Lake District National Park by emailing water.workshops@lakedistrict.gov.uk or calling 015394 40275.

    We’ll need to know your name, school name and address, phone number, year groups, number of pupils in each class and the month you'd like the session.
