A popular food and drink festival is returning to Maryport this summer.

Taste Cumbria’s 'Taste of the Sea' festival will return to Maryport on Saturday, August 8, and Sunday, August 9. 

After expanding the event over two sites last year, organisers will be doing the same this year.

The Harbourside and the Marina showfield will once again host a programme of activities designed for visitors of all ages.

The event will feature a producers' market, hot food stalls, a festival bar, and live music.

Children’s entertainment, fairground rides, arts and crafts, and face painting will also be on the cards.

On the Harbourside, visitors are invited to enjoy the demonstration stage, market traders, family picnic area, and an acoustic stage featuring "sea shanties storytelling, and more".

A spokesperson for Taste Cumbria said: "There will be loads going on for foodies, families, locals and visitors."

The two-day event is free to attend.
