One of the Lake District website's associates, a gifted musician called Candy Verney, helps people find their voice on singing holidays. Over the course a few days or a week or two, she offers a chance to enjoy a singing holiday in England, a singing holiday in Scotland, or a singing holiday in Wales. Next year, she tells us, she will be singing in the Lake District!
