Special Picnic Day at Another Place Hotel, The Lake
Date: June 18th, 2025
Location: Ullswater, Lake District
Join us for a relaxed, restorative day in one of the UK’s most scenic spots. Hosted at Another Place, The Lake, this event is part of our Green Letter Days programme – a series of uplifting experiences designed for people living with dementia and their companions to enjoy meaningful time together in beautiful surroundings.
Another Place, The Lake is a relaxed, contemporary hotel on the shores of Ullswater in the heart of the Lake District National Park. With panoramic views, thoughtfully designed spaces like the Glasshouse, and a strong connection to nature and wellbeing, it’s an ideal setting for a gentle, enjoyable day. As proud supporters of Dementia Adventure, Another Place is one of our valued partners and has generously offered to host this special picnic event for us.
