Thank you for an experience from the past. A lovely old fashioned single screen cinema. Very friendly with complimentary tea and coffee before the film. Excellent value compared to some of the modern multi screen cinemas these days. Always love going to the Alhambra.

Great day canoeing and ghyll scrambling with Jack. Had a full tour of Derwent water in the morning, great views and visited a few of the islands. Ghyll scrambling in the afternoon was great fun. Jack explained everything really well and made sure everyone felt safe and had a lot of fun.

My wife (Judy) and I have just enjoyed a fantastic tour of the Keswick Brewery and tasting. Our host, Nigel, was quite superb. So enthusiastic and informative and so welcoming. An excellent visit and the samples of the ales were delicious. Can’t recommend this tour more. Only regret is that the beer is only sold in Cumbria but understandable. Can’t wait to return and sample some more and see the new Fox Tap bar open. Thanks Nigel and good luck from Tony and Judy Hodge of Salisbury.
