We are delighted to announce a daring tightrope walk will take place twice a day on the 30 April/1/2 May 2016.

High wire walker Chris Bull of the Bullzini Family will recreate the walk across Rudyard Lake, first undertaken by Carlos Trower, the 'African Blondin', in the 1860s.

Michael Symmons Roberts was commissioned to write A Tightrope Song to celebrate A Day at the Lake.
