West Cumbria Issue 1 Dec/Jan

A Word from the Editor

Welcome to the first edition of The West Cumbria Guide.

As 2016 draws to a close, there’s no better time for change, which is why we have decided to merge together The Whitehaven Guide and The Guide to create a jam-packed edition covering the whole of West Cumbria.

Whether you can believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner, and as I write this, there are only five Mondays left until the big day.

In this edition we’ve got all the dates you need to organise your Christmas shopping around the dozens of festive events planned for Allerdale and Copeland; along with all the reasons why west Cumbria should be the only destination you choose to purchase all your Christmas presents.

For many people Christmas can be a stressful time which is why we have put together a guide on how to keep the Christmas dinner stress at bay, as well as a top tips on choosing the perfect Christmas gift for your other half.

We also have some delicious seasonal recipes for you to treat your family to including: gingerbread fudge and luxurious hot chocolate, along with a fool-proof way to ensure your sprouts are the talk of your Christmas dinner. Our regular cocktail connoisseur, Tara has been busy inventing some wonderfully merry cocktails which will get you all in the spirit of things.

So, from Steve, myself and the rest of the team, we would like to wish all our readers, supporters and advertisers a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

See you next year!
