Cumbria’s Wordsworth Trust is among the 925 organisations to be given cash from the Government to help it recover from the impact of COVID-19.
It has been awarded £121,130 from the Culture Recovery Fund and means Wordsworth Grasmere will remain open during the winter season.
Michael McGregor, Director of the Wordsworth Trust, said: “We have been delighted with the positive responses from visitors to Wordsworth Grasmere since it opened in May.
“However, the pandemic is still affecting us financially, especially in terms of being able to welcome international visitors.
“With this award, we are now able to plan for summer 2022 with confidence. We are hugely grateful to Arts Council England and to the Government for investing in our future in this way.”
