Brief description
"Located just a 5-minute drive from Bowness-on-Windermere, Blackwell – the Arts & Crafts house is one of the Lake District’s most beautiful historic houses.
Designed in 1901 as a holiday home by architect Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott, it offers a beautifully preserved snapshot into the British Arts & Crafts Movement.
Today, Blackwell keeps the spirit of this movement alive through a rolling programme of contemporary craft exhibitions and events, providing an inspiring place to explore art, design and the very best of contemporary craftsmanship.
2026 marks a milestone year for Blackwell, celebrating 125 years of the house and 25 years since opening to the public. In light of this we have a range of special events and exhibitions programmed for this year."
