An Easter cruise on Ullswater, arguably England’s most beautiful lake, nestled in the heart of the Lake District, could be just the ticket for three lucky passengers of Ullswater Steamers this year. Passengers can revel in the excitement of discovering whether they are the lucky finders of a golden ticket, planted by Ullswater Steamers employees in true Willy Wonka style.
Lucky first prize winners will receive a chocoholic’s dream – a fabulous Easter hamper from the acclaimed 1657 Chocolate House in Kendal, a mecca of all things chocolate. Two runners-up will also be able to devour the true taste of the Lake District in the shape of a sticky toffee pudding from the kitchen of the five star Sharrow Bay Hotel, delicious marmalade from the home of the Marmalade Festival, Dalemain, and ‘Steamer’ Ale, as served on board the vessels. Runners-up will also win a ‘Steamer’ tea towel, with which to wipe up once the feast is over, and tickets for a future cruise.
