The 4/5/6th December sees the Victorian Christmas Weekend taking place in Matlock.  This popular series of days out for all the family includes street entertainers, stalls in marques, mulled-wine, Santa’s grotto and switching on of the lights.  Throughout December and a must for visitors at this time of year is to see Chatsworth House, resplendent in its Christmas decorations and guaranteed to get everybody in the mood for the festive season. It’s a great time of year to visit the Peak District!

Darwin Forest has special reason to celebrate after scooping the award for Britain’s best holiday lodge park at Hoseasons annual awards ceremony.  The ‘Best in Britain’ award for Lodges and Parks is presented by Hoseasons based upon customer feedback covering over 440 parks, for which they act as booking agents.  It is a reflection on Darwin Forest’s ‘exceptional quality and outstanding customer service’.  Rest assured that we will be trying even harder to live up to the expectations that come with this prestigious award!  A big thank you to all our employees and guests who helped make this possible.
