The Lake District's iconic Grasmere Gingerbread is going to be sold in Bowness.

It'd previously only been available from the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop - but they're expanding since the floods started affecting business.

The treat will be on sale above Windermere Lakes Cruises information centre on Bowness Promenade.

You can also now get it at a pop-up shop outside the Lakeland store in Windermere.

Joanne Hunter, third-generation owner of the historic Grasmere Gingerbread Shop, said: "A massive thank you to Windermere Lake Cruises.

"Their offer of temporary premises at Bowness came out of the blue and is a heart-warming gesture of support and solidarity from another much-loved and established Lakeland business. 

"This will help us until the A591 road is repaired and open. It is a vital artery for Cumbria and the thousands of jobs that rely on tourists visiting the area. 

"Storm Desmond was terrifying in its power but afterwards it also brought out the best in people. By working together we can make Cumbria stronger." 

Jennifer Cormack, sales manager for Windermere Lake Cruises, said: “It’s been a challenging time for a number of businesses and we’re pleased to be lending our support to this iconic brand. 

"We hope customers visiting Bowness may be tempted by the unmistakeable aroma of Grasmere Gingerbread, including our international passengers who are always on the lookout for traditional Lake District gifts. 

"We’re delighted to welcome Grasmere Gingerbread on board.”
