Cockermouth Tourist Information Centre & Town website


In 2019 Cockermouth held its first annual town conference. The 2019 subject was 'Countering Domestic Abuse and Modern Day Slavery'. The event was organised by the Rotary Club, Cumbria Police and Churches Together in Cockermouth. Those who had suffered years of abuse bravely addressed the conference and organisations that provide confidential support for victims were present.
