Whitehaven – a place to be this summer
Whitehaven – a place to be this summer
Whitehaven Town Council has many great events lined up for this summer from Markets to tall ships once again returning to the harbour, there are some great reasons to head to Whitehaven.
Last year there were several events held in St Nicholas gardens all of which were a great success. Traders did well and locals had a great time browsing, tasting and trying the various wares on offer.
The traders’ markets will once again return to the gardens showcasing their creations. These markets are a great opportunity if you are a crafter, baker, maker or creator to get involved. Remember – stalls are Free – so if you are wanting to pitch up and get involved, then get in touch with WTC.
These markets allow local traders to come together amongst the lovely spring blooms that surround the gardens and showcase what they have to offer as well as bringing people into town to enjoy and engage with the many fantastic businesses throughout the town.
This Summer will see the return of the Summer fair!
This will take place across July 20th-23rd July and will include a Continental market held on the Harbour, a fun fair and some fantastic street entertainment. Running alongside this event from the 17th of July until 23rd July there will be an open air photo exhibition showcased within the Gardens of St Nicholas church.
Concluding the summer of events the ship ‘La MaLouine’ a twin masted French Brigantine tall ship will berth once again in Whitehavens Marina. A wonderful sight to see and a reminder of the harbour’s fascinating and rich history. The ship will be in the marina from August 18th – 21st.
