Local Residents' Card

How the card works

If you love Windermere and live locally, you can enjoy great discounts on both Windermere Lake Cruises and entry to the Lakeland Motor Museum with a Local Residents Discount Card.

• The Local Residents Discount Card is completely free of charge
• Cardholders can enjoy 50% off at both attractions between 1 October and 30 April, and 20% off from 1 May to 30 September*
• Anyone who lives in Cumbria and the Lancaster City Council district (including Morecambe) with postcodes starting with LA or CA can apply
• Lancaster University and University of Cumbria students are also eligible - just bring your students' union card & proof of address
  

*Offer applies to all scheduled daytime sailings (does not include Summer Evening Buffet Cruise, special events, row boat hire or motor boat hire)

Getting a card is easy

• Online - simply fill the form below & we'll mail your card out to you. Please bring proof that you live in a LA or CA postcode, like a recent utility bill, when you first use the card.
  
• In the post - Complete the registration form and send it to us with a stamped self-addressed envelope and a photocopy of a recent bill showing your address.
• In person - You can apply for a residents card at any of our ticket offices. Simply bring proof that you live in a LA or CA postcode, like a recent utility bill.

Your card can be used when purchasing tickets at any of our ticket offices at Bowness, Ambleside (Waterhead) and Lakeside Piers or at the Lakeland Motor Museum. Apologies, but at present we do not have systems in place to allow the card to be used when booking tickets online.

This card can also be used to get 30% discount off any adult or child ticket at Lakes Aquarium.

Our full terms and conditions are on our application form.

If you’ve lost your card – or even had it stolen, we’ll replace it free of charge at our ticket offices when you provide proof of local residency.

(Please note, processing your card will be quicker for our ticket office staff during quieter times of day and when passengers are not queuing to board one of our vessels)
