Welcome to Cumberland

Taste Cumbria Christmas is back in Cockermouth on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 December and there’s a fabulous festive weekend in store. From producers’ stalls packed with food, drink, crafts and homewares, to family entertainment including a visit from Santa, a snow globe, children’s book and film characters, and fairground rides, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

Cumberland Council will begin essential resurfacing works on the A7 Kingstown Road in Carlisle between Moorville Drive and Lowry Hill Road, starting Monday 18 November.

A planning policy document that sets out how the former Copeland area of Cumbria could be developed in the future, has been adopted by Cumberland Council.
