Grasmere Sports

Grasmere hosts the largest of the traditional Lakeland sport meetings, featuring Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling, hound trails (where trained hounds race after the scent of aniseed over the fells), mountain-bike races and fell races, including the English Hill Championship.

The grand arena also hosts such entertainment as bird-of-prey displays, sheepdog teams, marching bands, more than 150 trade stands, a craft marquee and a special "Made in Cumbria" marquee. For thrills and spills watch the helicopter display, while for the more sedate there is an antique brewery dray to admire.
