Whitehaven Festival arrives

The ever-popular Whitehaven Festival is this weekend.

This year's Festival has a packed line-up of events and activities for all the family, ranging from sea and air displays to a celebrity chefs' theatre, local gifts and produce, fairground attractions, street theatre and much more - not forgetting gigs from acts as diverse as McFly and Sweet.

Events kick off in the town on Friday afternoon and run until Sunday afternoon, with a jam-packed programme filling the space in between.

To find out more about this year's Festival, visit their Facebook page.

Copeland Borough Council is delighted to work with the organisers to support the Whitehaven Festival.
