Holiday Week

Holiday Week, August 8 - 12, 2022

Ullswater Yacht Club is going on holiday next month. The club is holding its traditional Holiday Week from August 8 to 12. The popular week, which is open to visitors, offers a combination of racing, kids' club, tuition, leisure sailing and family fun on and off the water, as well as daytime and evening entertainment and catering. There's a packed five-day programme which includes a kids' club and sailing lessons on a morning and racing on an afternoon with a prizegiving every day. Also on offer are opportunities to explore beautiful Ullswater with the leisure sailing group and fun water activities for everyone. Tents and campervans (sorry no caravans) are welcome on the club's 'Birkett field' with its stunning lake views.

The clubhouse, changing rooms and showers will be open and there'll be some evening meals which must be pre-booked Monday to Friday.

Full details including the event schedule, hospitality programme and bookings for members and visitors are on the UYC website:
