What types of spaces are available for baby showers at The Swan Hotel?
We have a variety of flexible spaces that can be tailored to suit the style and size of your baby shower celebration. Whether you’re planning a small, intimate gathering with close friends and family, or a larger, more elaborate event with themed décor and entertainment, The Swan can accommodate your vision. Our private dining spaces, cosy corners, and riverside rooms offer beautiful settings with the distinctive charm you’d expect from a boutique Lake District hotel. With plenty of natural light, elegant furnishings, and views over the River Leven or the surrounding fells, each space creates the perfect backdrop for a special occasion.
Can The Swan help with catering, décor, and other event extras for baby showers?
Absolutely, we love helping guests create memorable moments. Our experienced events team can assist with every element of your baby shower, from delicious catering options (like afternoon tea, grazing platters, or bespoke set menus) to décor such as table styling, florals, and custom signage. Whether you’d like a traditional celebration or a more modern take with a theme in mind, we’ll work with you to bring it all to life. You can even add on extras like fizz on arrival, mocktails, cakes, or personalised gift bags for guests.
How far in advance should I book my baby shower venue at The Swan?
To secure your ideal space and preferred date, we recommend booking your baby shower at least 6–8 weeks in advance, longer for peak seasons. Early booking allows our team to work closely with you on planning and ensure everything is exactly how you imagined it. If you’re looking for a last-minute celebration, don’t worry, we’ll always do our best to find a suitable space and bring the event together beautifully.

Yes, The Swan is proud to be a family-friendly and inclusive Lake District hotel. If your baby shower guests include young children, we can provide high chairs, children’s menu options, and quieter seating areas where needed. We also offer accessible facilities, including step-free access to certain areas and adapted restrooms, so everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Let us know in advance if you have any specific requirements and we’ll be happy to accommodate them.
What is the cancellation or date-change policy for baby shower bookings?
We understand that plans can change, especially when you’re planning a celebration in the lead-up to welcoming a new arrival! Our team will confirm the exact terms when you book, but in general, we aim to be as flexible as possible with date changes or cancellations. If something unexpected comes up, get in touch with us as soon as you can and we’ll work with you to reschedule your baby shower or discuss alternative options.
Can my guests stay overnight at The Swan after the baby shower?
Definitely, in fact, many of our guests choose to make a weekend of it. With boutique bedrooms, spacious family suites, and even private cottages available on-site, The Swan offers a relaxed and luxurious base to extend the celebration. Whether you’re treating the mum-to-be to a peaceful night away, or guests are travelling from afar, we’ll help you find the perfect rooms and even organise special touches like breakfast, spa access or welcome gifts.
