Grasmere Lakeland Sports and Show is encouraging families to swap screen time for ‘serene time’, as it prepares to open the gates for its annual event on Sunday August 24. The traditional elements of fell racing, hound racing and Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling will all be in evidence, as the cornerstones of an event older than the modern Olympics. This year, however, there will be a brand new attraction. The event will also encompass the first ever paragliding race, the thrilling Grasmere Hike and Fly, which is parachuting into the programme.
