If you haven't been to the festival do come and try it out. It begins with the opening party and Gala Screening at the theatre for passholders and invited guests on the evening of Thu 25 February, followed by three days of around 30 films, visiting directors and filmmakers. Each year there is something different at Keswick.

a cacophony of words from the 5-14 March at Theatre by the Lake when the
ninth Words by the Water Literature Festival takes place. A crowd of
readers and writers will jostle together in a book-induced euphoric
haze. The organisers say: "We can't claim to provide something for everyone or to please all
the people all of the time but we feel confident that those with an open
mind, love of words, and a curiosity about the world will enjoy the
sheer diversity of the programme. Be adventurous, be curious, try the
unknown, and treat yourself to many events at the festival."
