Seasonal Fun at Taste Cumbria Christmas – 6 & 7 December!

SEASONAL FUN AT TASTE CUMBRIA CHRISTMAS

Saturday 6 & Sunday 7 December, 2025.

by Suzanne Elsworth

Cockermouth is the sparkling destination for another Christmas celebration of the county’s very best flavours.

Taste Cumbria is back for more festive fun, with eating, drinking, shopping, live music, comedy and more. This is the perfect opportunity to start – or even finish – the Christmas shopping as you explore Cockermouth’s fabulous independent businesses.

Main Street and Market Place, in the area surrounding Cocker Bridge, will be the place to be, amid the gorgeous twinkling lights and candle-lit doorways. Elsewhere in town, there will be an art and craft fair, while Santa will be calling in too, with gifts for the littlest visitors, and you can grab the best selfies at the giant snow dome.

The event is totally free to attend, and tickets go on sale in November for the ever-popular Comedy Night and Supper Club.

Here’s what’s going on at the festival itself:

  • Producers’ stalls
  • Expert demos at Cockermouth Kitchen Company
  • Hot food court
  • Santa’s Grotto in Cockermouth Pilates Studio
  • Street theatre
  • Live music
  • Outdoor picnic areas
  • Fairground rides
  • FREE children’s activities

Organised by Cumberland Council and sponsored and supported by Cockermouth Town Council, Sellafield’s Social Impact Investment Fund (SIIF), Milburns solicitors, The Coffee Kitchen Bakery, and Rock With. The team can’t wait to see you again in Cockermouth – this is the tastiest Christmas event around!
