Taste Cumbria Food Festival

The events will have everything you’ve come to expect from Taste Cumbria – loads of producers’ stalls, experts to chat to, food and drink to eat on the spot, children’s entertainment, live music and more.

Nearly everything at the Taste Cumbria festivals is free to enjoy – only a small number of events are ticketed.

Cockermouth’s flagship festival in September is now a firm fixture in every food fan’s calendar, and we’re also back in Maryport and Wigton for their great events which began in 2021. We introduced Taste Cumbria Carlisle in 2024 and it was a real hit, so we’re aiming to be back there again this year. Your Taste Cumbria foodie finale returns to Cockermouth for the Christmas festival in December.

Watch this space for more information. Traders – we will be posting the event application forms very soon.

And if you want fun beyond the festivals, why not make a weekend of it? If you’re travelling to Cumberland, you could explore the rest of the area too. Great beaches, high and low fells, beautiful lakes and the prettiest towns and villages – this is a place which is well worth a visit.
