Great News for Keswick Archers! ​​

Keswick Town Council is delighted to share the news that Keswick Archers are back in business and can continue providing this valued community activity for local people.

Our Clerk, Vivien, attended a meeting in Kendal yesterday and strongly supported the campaign to secure a new location for the club. During discussions, it was made clear that there was no other suitable space where the club could operate safely and continue serving its members.

We are pleased that Lake District National Park Authority has granted permission for the club to continue its activities on a suitable field in Portinscale.

Keswick Archers is a much-valued community resource, offering opportunities for people of all ages to take part in archery, develop new skills, and enjoy outdoor recreation. We know this news will be warmly welcomed by members, supporters, and the wider community.

Keswick Town Council would like to thank everyone involved in helping to secure the club’s future and wishes Keswick Archers every success in their new location.

Here's to many more years of archery in our community!

We know that building bike jumps, dens and tracks is something children have enjoyed for generations — and we absolutely understand the sense of adventure and excitement this brings.

However, we’re asking parents and young people to please avoid creating them in Keswick’s public parks and green spaces. This particular damage has taken place close to the existing BMX track on the Archery Field, which is already provided as a suitable space for bike riding and skills.

Unfortunately, digging holes, building ramps and removing turf causes significant damage to the grass, tree roots and natural habitats, as these photos show. It also creates safety risks for other park users and undo hours of hard work by our parks team, who work incredibly hard to keep these spaces beautiful and safe for everyone to enjoy.

We’re not trying to stop children getting outdoors, exploring or riding bikes — quite the opposite. We simply need to protect shared public spaces that are used by the whole community.

We’d really appreciate parents supporting us by encouraging children not to build tracks or jumps in the parks, and instead helping them find more suitable locations such as private land where permission has been given.

Our parks belong to everyone, and with a little help from the community we can keep them looking their best for residents and visitors alike. Thank you for your support with this. We really hope the Keswick community will get behind this and understand why this is not acceptable in this location.
