Who we are
Dove Cottage was the home of William Wordsworth, Britain’s most famous poet. His thoughts and writing about man, nature and society are so relevant, they could have been written yesterday. Whilst living at Dove Cottage, Wordsworth produced most of his greatest and best-loved poems, and his sister Dorothy kept her fascinating Grasmere journal. Wordsworth Grasmere encompasses Dove Cottage, a garden orchard, woodland and sensory garden plus (opening in Spring 2021) a new Museum.
What we do
We offer a range of school and family workshops both at Wordsworth Grasmere, in school or via digital platforms for children from the foundation stage to KS4 exploring Wordsworth's life and poetry through creative writing, visual art and for younger children singing and stories. Please contact us for more information about our diverse range of workshops, guided walks and activities.
