The Patterdale Event

Each year the Pan-Clan holds a National Event for all members of the Pan-Clan in the heart of the Lake District. This event takes place over the first weekend in May, starting on the Friday evening and carrying through to the end on the Bank Holiday Monday. The dates will obviously change each year, but it remains on the Bank Holiday weekend

This event is a fairly recent addition to our calendar, having been running only since 2006. It is a fairly low-key 'Season Starter' consisting of great banter and food in the evenings, including live entertainment on the Saturday night, and sometimes on the Sunday evening too. Each year we get closer to having the whole hotel just full of Pan-Clan people.

During the day on Saturday and Sunday there is a ride-out. Each year the organisers get their little grey cells working to offer something new. In the past we have had mass ride-outs with nearly 50 bikes en-tour through the Lake District; Treasure Hunts; scenic rides to famous landmarks; visits to a brewery. What will they think of next? Well, for 2012 take the Lake District to Wales!
