This twice yearly event takes place in the Hikers Bar at The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, at the end of the road up Great Langdale, which is 6 miles to the west of Ambleside. It’s always a sociable affair with lots of live music inside the bar and lots of friendly people both inside and outside by the front door. It takes place on both the Friday and Saturday nights. Free, but donations to Lake District Mountain Rescue Search Dogs and the Northwest Air Ambulance.
