Yesterday we went to A Day At The Lake at Rudyard Lake in Staffordshire. Despite the rain we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The festival was a delight, full of everything you’d expect from Wild Rumpus (who also organise the Just So Festival and The Lost Carnival). The day was full of magic and wonder; mermaids, marching bands, Victorian Jugglers in their bathing suits, circus sideshows, a fabulous storyteller, a helter skelter and an amazing tightrope walker who walks across a high-wire stretched precariously over the lake!
The small boy came home with a head full of imagination (more so than usual) and it’s really got us in the mood for Just So this summer. If you’re at a loose end this Bank Holiday weekend, then A Day At The Lake is well worth a visit! You can read my full review here.
I took lots of pictures of the day and I have a few favourites, but I love this one of the rowing boats. Hope you like it too.
That sounds like a fabulous day out and I love this shot of the boats in the sunshine 🙂
A lovely shot – and a reminder of how long it is since I last went out on a rowing boat!
Great shot of the rowing boats! Love the flash of orange in the shot too! Sounds like a lovely day exploring! #MySundayPhoto x
Great shot! It looks so peaceful in there. I hope you had a lovely day out. xx
That sounds like great fun – I really must go over and see what it is all about. This is a lovely photo #MySundayPhoto

That sounds like a fantastic day out!
I saw these pop up on IG yesterday, we’re not too far from Leek and can’t believe we missed it. Love the boats, they look so peaceful #MySundayPhoto
It’s on all weekend, today (Staffordshire Day) and tomorrow too. The weather is looking brighter too 🙂
They look so calm and peaceful awaiting the busy Summer months.
Thank you for linking up
I love your photo! I’m going to have to check out your review now because it sounds like a great place my kids would enjoy.
Ooh I want to go messing about on the lake now after looking at your photo. I say messing because my hubby isn’t a rower… something about a dominant left arm makes us go around in circles! Not ideal really!
Sounds like a lovely day out. We were down by the river yesterday too, it’s wonderfully relaxing.
Sound like a really great carnivals! Love the rowing boats photo. It looks very peaceful. #MySundayPhoto

Love the colours, the orange rings really make the composition! 🙂
Yes, this is a very good shot. Captures spring’s arrival and the anticipation of summer very well.
Beautiful capture – and sounds like you had a perfect day.
Lovely photo, sounds like a great place for a day out #mysundayphoto
You know I first looked at this and thought Oxford or Cambridge? So thank you for enlightening me and making me want to go to the Just So Festival. #MySundayPhoto
