Cockermouth will be full of festive cheer this weekend as the Taste Cumbria Christmas festival returns to the town.
It takes place tomorrow, Saturday December 6 and Sunday, December 7.
There will be stalls packed with goodies made by local traders, live music and festive street theatre, along with expert demos, fairground rides, face painting and children’s crafts.
Father Christmas will be in his grotto tomorrow from 11am inside Cockermouth Pilates Studio.
Cockermouth’s independent shops will be lighting their doorways with lanterns, and the pubs and eateries will be serving up some great food and drink, all joining in the fun.
The demo kitchen will be hosted by Cockermouth Kitchen Company.
There’s an art and craft fair in the United Reformed Church on Main Street that weekend, while Market Place Print Studio is hosting drop-in sessions to make Christmas gifts.
The Taste Cumbria Christmas Comedy Night will be held at Jennings Brewery tomorrow. Tickets are on sale on the Taste Cumbria website priced at £15 per person. A Michelin-starred Supper Club has already sold out.
The festivals are organised by Cumberland Council.
