One of the Lake District website's close and long-standing associates, a gifted musician called Candy Verney, offers people the chance to enjoy singing holidays. Over the course of several relaxed and wonderful days in glorious scenery, she offers singing holidays in England songs in Scotland and warbling in Wales! Next year, she tells us, she will be singing in the Lake District! Look out for this, and don't miss it!
