New Taste Cumbria food festival in 2024!

Taste Cumbria Carlisle

Saturday 2 & Sunday 3 November 2024

NEW for 2024, there will be a Taste Cumbria market in the heart of Carlisle to coincide with the city’s fabulous Fireshow weekend. Eat, drink and shop, and watch the fireworks in Bitts Park on the Saturday night.

The Taste Cumbria producers’ market will be in Carlisle City centre from 10am to 6pm on the Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on the Sunday.

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 festival in September is now a firm fixture in every food fan’s calendar, while we’ll be building on the success of the Maryport and Wigton events which began in 2021. New for 2024 is Carlisle,  on Carlisle Fireshow weekend in November. Then it’s back to Cockermouth for the Christmas markets in December.

Watch this space for more information. We’ll be making more announcements soon.

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