Events diary
Every year we aim to ensure our visitors have great days out here in the Peak District, Derbyshire. Important to us is that you get great value for your money. To this end and to enhance the overall experience we plan a season of Special Events on key weekends and holidays. For those that like to visit us more than once in the year, even better(why not ask about our Season ticket), and for those who are here on holiday or on a day out from home it gives further added value to your Cable Car Ticket. There is no need to book just turn up on the day. Our 2012 events programme is listed below:
