Festival 31st May to 2nd June 2013
The format of what was the Cockermouth Midsummer Festival, has changed for 2013. Due to the unpredictability of the weather, we've decided to move most of the events indoors, and also to concentrate the festival over a weekend. We also decided to change the date of the festival, as there were lots of other events in West Cumbria scheduled for the midsummer week. So it seemed appropropriate to rename the festival as "Cockermouth LIVE!". Find out more here....
