This celebration of food, drink, fabulous flavours and family fun will take place in the heart of the town and promises to be the biggest event yet as there are three locations this year. Find the producers’ stalls on Main Street, the Street Party on Market Place and even more attractions at the newly-reopened Jennings Brewery.
The ever-popular Comedy Night takes place in a new venue too, at Cockermouth Rugby Club, Strawberry How – check the website for ticket details.
And for more food-related laughter, head to the Demo Stage on Main Street on Saturday for the chaotic Come In and Get Your Tea comedy show. You can book your seat for this via the website too.
“This promises to be a fabulous weekend.”
There will be two music stages, in Market Place and at Jennings, plus street theatre, a caricaturist, the hot food court, picnic areas and fairground rides. Add in a great line-up of experts cooking up some tasty dishes, Q&A sessions at the Brewery, beers from Jennings and Crooked River with al fresco bars there and in Market Place, and this promises to be a fabulous weekend.
Taste Cumbria was created after floods devastated Cockermouth in 2009 and are now the biggest and the best food festivals in the county.
They are organised by Cumberland Council and the sponsors and supporters for this event are Cockermouth Town Council, The Coffee Kitchen Bakery, Milburns Solicitors and Rock With.
