A popular food festival is set to return, with two days of entertainment and tasty treats.

Taste Cumbria will take place in Maryport on Saturday, August 8, and Sunday, August 9, with the event once again spread across two sites.

Following the success of last year’s expanded format, the festival will use both the new Harbourside event space and the Marina showfield to make the most of Maryport’s waterfront.

The event promises something for everyone, with food stalls, live music, and activities for all ages.

A spokesperson for Taste Cumbria said: "Maryport is welcoming back Taste Cumbria on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 August for another fabulous festival."

At the Marina, visitors can enjoy a producers’ market, picnic area with live music, hot food stalls, a festival bar with the pirates from Maryport Round Table, fairground rides, and children’s entertainment.

The Harbourside will feature a demonstration stage, market traders, a family picnic area, and an acoustic stage showcasing sea shanties and storytelling.
