A Steamboat Wetdock has been built over the original sand wharf quay and accommodates up to 15 boats in working order. The 'Windermere' building includes displays of Windermere speed craft, Beatrix Potter's rowing boat and a special area set aside for the 'Swallows & Amazons' Exhibition. There is also a lecture theatre which is available for private hire, a Tea Room serving hot & cold drinks, and a selection of delicious savoury snacks and cakes, an outside picnic area by the lake and a model boat pond. .
