A jumble sale promising bargains and nostalgia is set to return to Cockermouth this weekend.

The event will be held at the Kirkgate Centre on Saturday, April 25.

Running from 10am to 4pm, the sale is part of a 1990s-themed weekend and aims to raise funds for the centre.

Donations can be dropped off at the centre today, Friday, April 24, from 1pm to 3pm.

Organisers said: "We're looking for anything and everything.

"We're gonna make like Wombles and turn the every day things that you're throwing away into something new.

"Games, toys with CE mark, kitchen utensils - make sure they've been washed - stationery, clothes, books, DVDs, picture frames, garden tools, ornaments, musical instruments.

"Whatever you have lurking in your home gathering dust."

They hope to help reduce the amount of waste ending up in landfill and "help pre-loved items find a new fulfilling life".

No booking is necessary, attendees can just turn up during the event.
