Gather your friends and family to celebrate Cockermouth with a carnival-style street party!

Tables and chairs will be laid out in the centre of the town and you can bring a picnic, or buy food from international food stalls, to enjoy a delicious feast whilst the finest street performers keep you entertained. 

The Flying Buttesses, Hodman Dodmanott and Sally Forth are travelling into town along with Andre Drupp, Arthur The Usher, David Paine and the Big Bad Wolf!

International artists Teatro Pachuco and La Puntual will enchant the whole family with unique and exquisite shows. 

And for those with livelier feet, there will be a 'cowboy ceilidh' from The Last Chance Saloon Band and a chance to try Electro Ballroom from Le Danse d'Avril... so put on your dancing shoes and show us your very best moves! 

Gather everyone together: friends, family, neighbours and visitors to celebrate this beautiful market town with an added touch of magic.  

An additional Lakes Alive event for 2010 in partnership with Alledale Borough Council. Also funded by Arts Council England and Britain's Energy Coast.
