An event is happening in Ulverston in October to officially launch a block of luxury apartments.

Plans were approved in 2023 to convert the grade II-listed Lonsdale House Hotel on Daltongate into 13 suites after the property was bought by the Cameron Investment Group three years prior.

To celebrate the grand opening, the company is hosting an evening of 'networking and drinks' on Thursday, October 17 between 4.30pm and 7.30pm at the site of the new apartments at 11 Daltongate.

Work has been ongoing over the past year to restore the 19-bedroom Georgian townhouse to its former glory.

As well as housing apartments, the developers also hope that it can be a destination for special occasions, building upon its previous reputation as a wedding venue.

It has also seen life as a boarding school, club rooms at the very end of the 19th century, and a hotel in 1950s, with a new purpose now moving in.

If you would like to attend the opening event, then email yemi@cameronig.com, and you can find out more about booking a stay from October onwards by visiting the website here.
