Two TV chefs will appear at Cumbria’s Taste of the Sea festival next month.
Jack Stein, son of Rick, and now an international chef in his own right and Cumbria’s own MasterChef winner, Irini Tzortzoglou, will appear on the demo stage at the Maryport event, which takes place on August 9 and August 10.
Now in its fifth year, the festival will be held around the harbourside, which includes a new event space.
There will also be a producers’ market to browse, culinary experts on hand, hot food and cold drinks, a children’s fairground, music stage, rum bar and beer marquee.
There will also be hot and cold seafood traders, an oyster bar and fish to buy straight from the Chelaris boat.
Entertainment will include sea shanty bands, storytelling and roaming street theatre, as well as a children’s postcard trail to take visitors all around the town.
The Taste Cumbria events are organised by Cumberland Council.
This is the second Taste Cumbria event of 2025. Taste Wigton took place in April and the next festival will be in Cockermouth in September, with Taste Cumbria Carlisle in November. The Taste Cumbria Christmas festival in Cockermouth takes place in December.
