The hills are alive in the Lake District

For those inspired by the ‘BBC Cardiff Singer of the World 2009’ competition – one of the world’s greatest contests for opera and concert singers – and the final on BBC2 on 14 June, walking and leisure activity breaks specialist, HF Holidays is highlighting a superb 20% saving on its Singers’ Workshop holiday in the Lake District.

Based at the company’s Monk Coniston Country House at Conistonwater, this four-night break is the ideal opportunity for singers with some experience to practise a vast range of styles and traditions. Singing individually and together, and guided by an expert tutor, guests work towards a final performance, concert-style.

Starting 19 October, the revised cost is £279 (saving £70) per person, twin-share, inclusive of full-board en-suite accommodation, the holiday programme and tuition. Bookings must be made by 31 July.
