Psssst!... Kirkgate pixie here, wanted to say a massive thank you to Cockermouth Round Table and all the beer fans that came along to this year's beer festival!

It's the cleanest and tidiest I've ever seen after the hundreds of dancing beer swiggers in the building 🤩

So there won't be a sticky floor for the Westlife fans tonight 🤣 still some tickets left for their 25th anniversary concert on our big screen, doors open at 6pm.

A huge congratulations to everyone who took part in the Cockermouth Community Musical at the Christmas Lights Switch On Sunday!

We were so proud to be able to perform the world premier for the town! And thank you to the audience who brave rain, hail and thunder to enjoy the performance. We're a hardy bunch in West Cumbria!

There is more information and sources for all the stories in the show on our website, we'll share the link in the comments.

Many thanks to Jessie McMeekin and JP Worsfold for putting the show together, writing beautiful stories and powerful music, and to Dave Camlin for leading the choir. Thank you as well to Cockermouth Town Council for giving us space on the Lights Switch on programme.

If you'd like a chance to see the performance in the warm and dry we're doing it again on 14th December at the Kirkgate and tickets are free! Book on our website.

Our Freedom: Then and Now is part of a £2million national creative programme taking place across 60 arts centres marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. Supported by the UK government through Arts Council England, Future Arts Centres and the Libraries Connected Initiative
