Rudyard Lake League of Friends


Trip boat 'Honey' on Rudyard LakeFormed in 1998 the League of Friends currently has over 150 members from all over the world. The volunteers arrange fund raising activities such as the Rudyard Lake Festival every August and a spectacular sound and light show on Bonfire Night, as well as classic car shows and other events. They also supply a discounted marquee hire service to their members.

Spider - Senior Captain of 'Honey'In 2004 they purchased the trip boat 'Honey', a diesel powered 1942 captain's cutter launch which had been lovingly restored by its previous owner. The volunteer crew has been fully trained to operate the trip boat, which carries up to 12 passengers and operates at weekends throughout the summer months. Private bookings can be made at any time of the year. A live narrative accompanies the scenic cruises.


The Friends' volunteers support both Rudyard Lake Ltd and the Trust. Without their efforts and financial support many of the improvements at Rudyard would not have been possible.
