Cumberland Council is set to host a free Christmas Fete at the Distington Walled Garden on Saturday 28 November from 10am to 4pm.
The event will feature an outdoor market with local businesses showcasing a range of handmade crafts, including preserves, candles, soaps, cakes, and woodwork. It’s a great opportunity to support local makers and pick up some unique gifts ahead of the festive season.
The café, based within the tranquil surroundings of the Distington Walled Garden, will be open to visitors for meals and refreshments between 10am and 3pm. Seasonal treats like homemade mince pies, mulled wine, and Baileys coffee will be available. From 2pm to 3pm, the café will offer a lighter selection of cakes and scones.
Councillor Anne Quilter, Cumberland Council’s Executive Member for Vibrant and Healthy Places, said:
“We’re pleased to welcome the Christmas Fete back to Distington Walled Garden. It’s a great chance to enjoy a festive day out while supporting local businesses and makers, with a wide variety of handmade gifts and produce on offer. With plenty happening throughout the day, we hope lots of people will come along and enjoy the festivities.”
