Maryport's Hillside residents will hold an autumn festival tomorrow.

The event will run from 10am to 4pm on Ellenfoot Drive.

Stomping Ground, the not-for-profit organisation encouraging play and creativity will organise lantern-making to take to the Ewanrigg lantern parade on Sunday.

They will also help people make bird feeders, plant spring bulbs, make medals and build dens.

There will be talks from a local PCSO and firefighter.

Cumbrian chef John Crouch will attend and recipes he has previously demonstrated to the Hillside and Pecklewell Residents’ Association will be available to sample.

These will include leak and potato, tomato and pasta, lentil and pumpkin and ginger soups and lemon and ginger flapjacks.

The event has been organised by the residents’ association and all are welcome.
