Head down to Maryport’s harbourside next weekend as Taste Cumbria’s Taste of the Sea festival is back in town.
Now in its fourth year, this extravaganza of food and drink takes place on Saturday August 10 and Sunday August 11 in a slightly different location – on the grassland at Marine Road, next to Maryport Marina.
Organisers promise over 50 stalls in the Producers’ Market selling everything from food and drink to crafts and gifts.
Experts on the Vici Demo Stage will showcase cookery for complete beginners to fancy dishes to tempt every tastebud and live music will be performed on the festival stage.
There will also be a fairground, plus games and workshops for children,
There’s more fish and seafood on offer than ever before at the 2024 event, whether that’s the freshest catch direct from the Chelaris boat or at the festival’s new Oyster Bar.
Tuck in to paella with all the trimmings at Saturday’s Fish & Fizz Supper at Her Citi cafe, try the hot fishy treats from Portobello Wood Fired Pizza or the Lake District Lobster & Seafood stall.
Also new for this year is the liveliest night out around – Bingo Loco. It’s bingo like you’ve never played before – expect big prizes, dance offs and lots of laughs. This takes place at Grasslot sports club on the Saturday night.
The Taste Cumbria events are organised by Cumberland Council.
Taste of the Sea’s main sponsor is Maryport Town Council, and its supporters are Vici, Grants Oaked Smoked, Thomas Armstrong Construction, Maryport Harbour Authority and Maryport Business Group.
