Hello & Welcome to this years Shimmy Festival and Great Lakeland Shimmy Run...... These events have been created by Claire & Oly Nutton on behalf of Claire's cousin Sean aka 'SHIMMY' who sadly lost his 6 year battle with cancer in November of 2008. During his time with us Sean had a wish granted by 'Rays of Sunshine Childrens Charity' who forefilled his life long dream to go to America. It is in Sean's beautiful memory and in support of 'Rays of Sunshine' childrens charity that we host this event. Thankyou all for your kind support, we hope you enjoy the festivities!!!

Say no to littering!!!
We here at ShimmyFest are very lucky to be have such a stunning location set back in 17 acres of Cumbrian countryside and surrounded on both sides by protected national park forests and the fantastic Lake Windermere (the largest lake in the UK). You can do your bit to help out the environment and keep ShimmyFest as beautiful as when we found it by using the designated bottle bins and recycling areas dotted around the festival site.
