Learn more about hotels in Lakeland

Born out of a humble operation in Windermere, selling polythene bags as farming accessories, Lakeland was conceived by Alan Rayner, an unassuming agricultural feed salesman. The former Lakeland Plastics saw exponential growth under the guidance of Rayner's sons, who branched out into the realm of kitchenware and gourmet foods. Today, the operation, known simply as Lakeland, houses its headquarters in Windermere, with a distribution centre in nearby Kendal, offering a vast expanse of over 4,000 products in its range.

On your journey through the 68 Lakeland stores including its flagship next to the Windermere head office, you would be amazed at the wide variety of speciality kitchenware that reflects the richness of British culinary culture. From opening its first store in Dubai in 2010, to establishing a presence in Bahrain and Qatar by 2011, Lakeland has spread its wings far beyond the picturesque scapes of the Lake District, solidifying its position as a cherished British institution.
