UPDATE: TUE 31 DECEMBER 2024
We have today taken the difficult decision to cancel our New Year’s Day Dip in Derwentwater scheduled for tomorrow, New Year’s Day.
A very uncertain and changeable forecast of strong winds and heavy rain meant that we sadly have to cancel this year’s charity dip. With over 350 people signed up to take part, this would have been the third annual event – unfortunately three was not a charm this time.
We’ve been watching, waiting and praying that the weather shows signs of settling but ultimately the safety of our New Year’s Day Dippers and event staff is paramount. We’ve therefore taken the unfortunate decision to cancel this year’s event.
We’re so grateful to you all for signing up, planning your dipping outfit and donating. The New Year’s Day Dip has become a firm favourite in our fundraising calendar and a great community start the year. Rest assured we’ll be back with bells on next year. In the meantime, we’d like to wish you all a very Happy (and dry!) New Year.
When: Wednesday 1 January, 11am
Where: Beyond The Boat Landings, Keswick

Start the New Year as you mean to go on and raise money for a wonderful, local charity! Join us on New Year’s Day for a Fancy Dress Dip in Derwentwater, followed by hot chocolate and cake. Our New Year’s Day Dip’s in 2023 and 2024 were hugely successful and we can’t wait to welcome back both new and returning dippers!
Calvert Lakes instructors and staff will be on hand to make sure that both our ‘dippers’ and our lake are kept safe and that we all leave no trace. Wetsuits are highly recommended and safety boats will also be on hand to ensure the dip goes off without a hitch.
Places are limited so to sign up, click the link below. We kindly ask for a minimum donation of £5 to help us help others in 2025.
