Wild Goat Festival

Fri 11th August 2023 - Sun 13th August 2023

Two people running on a leafy path flanked by greenery and colorful autumn foliage. Both are wearing matching orange and blue jackets and black leggings. The path curves into a forested area, and the runners appear to be enjoying a nature trail. A cyclist in a yellow jacket rides a red bicycle on a paved path through a grassy park, with a large, historic castle featuring towers and a green dome visible in the background surrounded by trees. The sky is overcast. Two runners in athletic gear cheer as they hold hands and raise their arms in celebration while running on a forest trail. The woman on the left wears a black outfit with bib number 481, and the man on the right wears an orange top with bib number 482. Other runners are seen in the background. Two cyclists, a man and a woman, are riding mountain bikes on a dirt path during a race. They are smiling and wearing helmets. Other cyclists are visible behind them, with numbers on their bikes. The background is a mix of trees and an open field. A live band performs on an outdoor stage. The group includes a bassist, a guitarist, a drummer, and a lead singer. The male lead singer is holding a microphone and wearing a black leather jacket. Sound equipment and large speakers are visible in the foreground. A happy family of three pose while smiling through the circular opening of a colorful, inflatable photo frame. They are outdoors, on a sunny day, with green grass and trees in the background. The family members are wearing red shirts and appear joyful and excited. A group of people, including men and women, sit on deck chairs in front of a food truck with a "Fentimans" sign. Some are eating, others are on their phones, and a few are chatting. In the background, more people are gathered near the truck. The scene is a casual outdoor setting. A group of three children and one adult, all wearing matching red shirts, enthusiastically cross a finish line during an outdoor family race event. They are smiling and cheering, with arms raised in celebration. Bright yellow banners line the pathway.

Set in the beautiful South Lake district, Holker Hall provides the centre of what will be amazing routes around this stunning peninsula. Taking in both coastal views and the beautiful fells synonymous with the Lakes, you’ll have the chance to explore areas within the estate that aren’t open to public. Take on a new challenge, test your trail running with a hill climb, or hone your gravel bike skills!

All mini runs will take place within the Holker Hall grounds so you don’t need to worry about little ones leaving the site.
