Enjoy England Quality Assured Visitor Attraction |
A Place to Meet.
Rheged is a gallery, café, cinema, shopping venue, workplace and creative space on the edge of the Northern Lakes. A place where kids can be kids in our Indoor Play and Making Space and where friends, family and colleagues can share a meal, watch a film, hold a meeting, see an exhibition, buy a gift or catch up over coffee. A flexible space for getting together or enjoying time alone with a book or notepad; a place where stories are told, ideas are sparked and the Cumbrian landscape is a constant source of inspiration.
Cinema
Our giant-screen cinema offers an immersive experience unique within our region. The 18.3-metre-wide screen invites you to leap into the action of the latest Hollywood releases and family favourites or be transported to one of the world’s great theatres, where live-streamed opera, ballet and musical performances come vividly to life through our state-of-the-art surround sound system. Enjoy the show with sweet treats from our Deli including Kimi’s Gelato, popcorn and hand-packed confectionery range from Bon Bon’s.
Indoor Play
Our state of-the-art indoor play area, designed by Tigerplay features a new café serving coffees and cakes, along with a seating area for parents and guardians. The revamped space features three slides alongside each other to race down and a specific area for young children. It also includes an elevated level including a ‘nest-like’ den which can be reached through climbing walls and ladders.
Making Space
Where children can get creative decorating a range of models including bunnies, dinosaurs, masks, letters and more with decorative patterned papers in our Decopatch workshop.

Alongside each exhibition is a range of creative classes led by exhibiting artists.

A Brief Golden Light – a Mountaineer’s Tale with John Porter
In this thought provoking and beautifully illustrated new lecture, the mountaineer, filmmaker, award winning author and poet John Porter will recount some of the experiences that shaped his life.
John is arguably one of the most accomplished but understated mountaineers of his generation. He made pioneering ascents of the North Face of Bandaka and the South Buttress of Changabang. Neither route has been repeated.
The talk encompasses nearly 70 years of a life informed by adventure, from childhood tragedies to major first ascents with some of the world’s best climbers. Like many of his friends, he was committed to the idea of alpinism, climbing in very small teams without the use of oxygen or any outside support. The race was on to do the purist lines before they were climbed by fixed ropes expeditions. There were many successes, and many tragic failures. He and his friends have been dubbed; “the generation that nearly climbed itself into extinction.” They embraced risk as an essential part of life.
Yet climbing is only a small part of John’s life. He will talk about his many other adventures from leaving American at the age of 20 to start a new life in the UK: how he brought New Balance to Cumbria, his award-winning writing and filmmaking, and work for various charities.

Hari Budha Magar – No Legs, No Limits
Presented by Speakers from the Edge
From injured veteran to the world’s first double above-knee amputee to summit Mount Everest; Hari shares his inspiring journey from being born in a cowshed, going to school barefoot, growing up in civil war, passing the most difficult military selection, losing his legs in 2010, battling depression and discrimination, to standing atop the world’s largest peak in May 2023.
As an extraordinary pioneer, pushing both physical, psychological and perceptual boundaries of human ability and spirit, his story is one of resilience and innovation, proving that having a disability is not life limiting. Hari demonstrates the mental agility required to remove limits and shows how mindset is everything in conquering dreams
