Beatrix Potter’s 150th Anniversary celebrations were enjoyed across the Lake District yesterday.

Hill Top, the iconic house of Beatrix, hosted BBC Breakfast, which broadcast the weather reports from there all morning.

Pete Tasker, the Hill Top gardener for nearly 30 years, was Chris Evans' 'Mystery Guest' on BBC Radio 2.

The paddock at Hill Top was host to some of Beatrix’s beloved herdwick sheep and there was the opportunity for face-painting, morris dancing and country dancing.

There were many poeple, from all over the world, enjoying a visit around the house. All children who came along got a free cupcake and Peter Rabbit pencil  and there was a chance to sketch and paint outside the house and the garden.

Helen Ghosh, director-general of the National Trust, was there to talk to visitors and cut the cake and said: “We have so much to be thankful to Beatrix for, and the Lake District wouldn’t be place we know and love today without her passion for conservation and nature.”
