  • Mediterranean Dining Evening

Set sail on a flavourful journey as we bring the sun-soaked charm of the Mediterranean to the heart of Keswick for one special evening.

7-course Mediterranean-inspired menu

A Feast of Shadows: A Sophisticated Halloween Dining Experience at the Skiddaw Hotel

The Skiddaw Hotel Bar & Conservatory

Good evening to all ghosts and ghouls, witches and werewolves! Welcome to The Skiddaw’s Feast of Shadows – a seven-course dining experience served by candlelight, steeped in gothic charm, rich seasonal flavours, and just the right amount of the supernatural.

This is Halloween for grown-ups who love a little drama with their dinner – a celebration of the strange, the spooky, and the deliciously dark. Between courses, a mischievous local storyteller will share spine-tingling tales and chilling Cumbrian folklore, transporting you into the eerie heart of the Lake District.

Dress to impress – moody, glamorous, or mysterious – and you might just win our Best Outfit prize.
