Taste Cumbria Wigton 2025

Eat, drink, shop and even dance…
Taste Cumbria is back in Wigton on Saturday 26 April 2025!

Water Street Car Park is the location for the latest festival and it promises to be a fun day out for all the family. There will be a great producers’ market with stalls packed with local fare. There’s also live music on the festival stage, as well as children’s rides. There will be more entertainment in the neighbouring Market Hall.

There, for the first time, there will be a silent disco which everyone can try, alongside crazy magic and more from Liam Moorhouse, and arts and crafts with NADT Youth.

What’s on where…

The festival is taking place from 10am to 5pm, Saturday 26 April.
